When I had a 1988 car, I said I have an 88
When I had a 1993 car, I said I have a 93
When I had a 1999 car, I said I have a 99
When I had a 2000 car, I didn't say I have a 00, I said I have a 2000 car
When I bought a 2002 car, I didn't say I have a 02 I said I have a 2002 car
So my question is, when are we going to leave out the two thousand, and just say the two last digits, like for the 88, 93, 99 car in my example, for it not to sound stupid?
I have been having that same thought, only it's on addressing the kids in this generation
I was a kid in the 50's (late 50's)
I was a teen in the 70's
my sons are all born in the 80's
So what do you call those growing up in the 2000 years?
kids in the zero year?
the zero generation?

from what I've seen so far, I'd say dumbass would fit a lot of them pretty well.

Twenty Oh Three?
Ought Three?
Why not now?
Along those lines, why do folks here say 'Oh-3', instead of 'zero-3'?
I guess it may have to do with it being easier to say 'oh' than 'zero', but maybe folks could say 'nought'.
New cars are already being sold as 'oh-3' models.

and when you get passed the oh 3, what will you say after oh 9? I have a 10. We will still have to say a 2010. the long way
I have a 3, I have a 10, I have a jack, I have a queen. they'll think your playing cards.

2k generation
It does seem strange. Like taking a month after the new year to get used to Oh-3 instead of Oh-2. Maybe we can say 2-03.......2-10........2-22? Hike!
Edited to add..........a "93"
