Just because we don't have flying cars and atomic jetpacks... yet... doesn't mean that we can't at least talk like we're in the future. Alright everyone, say it with me now:
"twen-tee-oh-sev-en"

Fact: "two thousand-seven" is hard to say. You go from a soft S to a soft "und" kind of thing, to another soft S. TOO HARD

Fact: Putting an "and" before the seven does not help, because now you have 2 of those soft "und" things. Plus, you've added another syllable, and that's no good.

Fact: Twenty-o-seven is just plain fun to say! See how it kinda bounces? Like, a basketball, or a baby. You like basketball, babies, moms, and apple pie, right? Well, if you're any kind of DECENT person you do.

Fact: Saying two-thousand-n-seven is a very 2006 thing to say, and you know who's in 2006? That's right, terrorists. Hmm-hmmm. You don't want there to be TERRORISTS in 2007 do you? DO YOU?????

Now that I've convinced you all, we can FINALLY come in to the 21st century as envisioned in Back to the Future II when they travelled to the far-off year of twenty-fifteen. Flying cars, here we come!
