Okay. That feels better. I guess I'm still stuck in the school mind-set.<br />
<br />
You know, if the speakers said that and I added the "0" that was left out in my transcript, it would count as an error in a qualifier ;D. I guess I'm finally beyond those days and in the working world now.

I'm in Brenda's camp too. As a scopist, it's not my decision to make; but if the reporter asks my opinion, I would suggest just writing it out. There comes a point where trying to be verbatim becomes more onerous than just using common sense, and I think this is one of them.

I am in the "replacing the missing 0" camp, but it looked like you were uncomfortable with that solution. People may have heard the witness say it, but remember it? Even take note of it? Unlikely. It's very common. And it certainly isn't misunderstood for anything else.<br />
<br />
So if you need the justification by way of someone else doing it that way *waving hand*.

And I take that back. My proofreader suggested that I put the missing "0" in, but I was unsure about it because he specifically left it out. I just felt funny putting it in when everyone in the room heard him leave it out.<br />
<br />
Thanks for responding so quickly everyone!

I would argue against 20'9 because that could indicate any number in the 10s position. We know for sure we're not in the 2100s. :)

Your proofreader must not frequent Internet forums. It has come up a lot in discussions in many forums in the last couple of years (including here on CSRNation, if I'm not mistaken). Some reporters write it 2'09 or 20'9, others write is out as if the unspoken 0 was actually spoken (2009), and some actually write it in words (two-oh-nine). I haven't heard of anyone "sic"ing it, but I suppose that would be another way to do it. Only you can decide which way you want to handle it, but it would…

It's becoming more common, I think. It's very strange, isn't it? I mean, we all know when people say '09 that they mean this century. Why go with the awkward 2'09? Who knows? My vote is to use the apostrophe to show the omission of the first zero. Others may do it differently.

It's become quite common. 2'09. Apostrophe to show the absence of a digit, just like '99 for 1999.
