I've thought more about it, and I'm going to go ahead and declare a particular linguistic nuance:
When it is an adjective, people are more likely to say "twenty." When it is a noun, they say "two thousand." Consider: "Back in two thousand fourteen" "The twenty-fourteen Olympic games" "When Donald Trump was elected in two thousand sixteen" "The twenty-sixteen election" |
