No, we're saying it correctly.
No. Since Twenty Ten, it has been said with a Twenty before it. Two Thousand was its own decade from 00 to 09.
What year were you born? One thousand nine eighty six?

You make a very good point, but I think I'll still be saying "two thousand twelve." It sounds more right to me.

But, but! It was two thousand one, two thousand two, two thousand three and so on. It's only natural to continue on with the flow of things and say two thousand twelve. I mean, if we had been saying twenty one, twenty two or whatever, it may have been more natural. But, after saying two thousand ____ for 9 years, it's a hard habit to break. Cut us some slack. :
: I think technically saying one thousand nine hundred eighty six would be more correct because it's been that long since zero.

The phrase "work hard, play hard". Play hard? Isn't "play" supposed to be enjoyable? If you're finding it hard, then you're probably doing it wrong. Also, this phrase tends to be used a lot by arrogant, self-important people which doesn't endear it to me.

I CAN NOT stand hearing people pop their mouths and smack on it while chewing food.
Also people who talk like the flinstones in their loudest voice all of the time. Yabba dabba dooo. Are we in the stone age, why are you yelling?
These are my top pet peeves.

When the male pigeon tries to mate with the female. Their necks swell up, the noise they make and they never give up. i just cant watch lol
People that make alot of noise when they eat is my number 1.
I was at the doctor the other day and While I was in the waiting room this guy was eating ALL of the suckers that they had sitting out for patients.
He was crunching and smacking on them so loudly....I wanted to stab him repeatedly with the pen that I was filling out my form with.
Others are.
When people ask me a question as I'm putting food in my mouth and sit there and star at me.
Hearing my name said too many times in a day.
People who jump straight to yelling during an argument.
People who seemingly never wear shoes or socks.
