Pronouncing the years 2021 through 2029

>>When you're saying "two thousand and seven", you are really saying
$2000.07 (the AND denoting a decimal point). <<

If I know you're referring to money, I would always take "two thousand and seven" to mean $2007. The AND could never be interpreted as a decimal point.

Indeed. We use "point" for decimals, not "and". I pronounce the current year as "two thousand and seven". For some reason, decades ago, US math teachers decided the using "and" in numbers like "2007" was "incorrect" as "and signifies a decimal point". Total nonsense.

Same here; furthermore, the use of "and" in numbers like "2007" is mandatory here if one is not listing their individual digits.
