You want to know something unique about Charles Osgood? He regularly pronounced the 2000s-decade years 2001, 2002, etc., as "twenty oh one", "twenty oh two", etc., as opposed to the more common "two thousand one", "two thousand two", etc..

A reason someone might pronounce those years the way Mr. Osgood did was because "two thousand one" wouldn't feel and sound as "historic" as, say, "nineteen thirty one", "nineteen seventy four", and anything earlier than the 20th century. Even I have a habit of committing this pronounciation "mistake" sometimes.

I'm always left to wonder, Why the non-common-ness of the "twenty-ohs" pronounciation compared to "two thousand XYZ"?
