The [[2000s (decade)|years 2000 to 2009]] are most often read as [[2000s (decade)#Names for the decade|''two thousand'', ''two thousand (and) one'' and the like]] by both British and American speakers. For years after 2009, ''twenty eleven'', ''twenty fourteen'', etc. are more common, even in years earlier than 2009 BC/BCE. Likewise, the years after 1009 (until 1099) are also read in the same manner (e.g. 1015 is either ''ten fifteen'' or, rarely, ''one thousand fifteen''). Some Britons read years within the 1000s to 9000s BC/BCE in the American manner, that is, 1234 BC is read as ''twelve (hundred and) thirty-four'' BC, while 2400 BC can be read as either ''two thousand four hundred'' or ''twenty four hundred'' BC.
