San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico. Doors are definitely the status symbol there

I think for the 2000s decade most people say "two thousand nine" (no wasted syllable on "and") and for the 2010s people tend to say "twenty eleven". When the century is implied it's "oh nine".

It seems to me people generally already use the least amount of syllables that fully specify the year.
