Why do people insert "and" into a year? The current year isn't 2000 and 17. It's 2017.
I remember a talk show caller helping a host recall when various historical events happened. It was considerate of her to share her knowledge, but I wondered why she kept drawing out the name of every year she mentioned.
"That happened in 1960 and 8," she said. "That happened in 1970 and 2."
Leave the ands for identifying intersections, such as Fifth and Main Streets.
