Margie Wakeman-Wells actually talked about this recently, and it made so much sense to me. 

She said if someone says 2'12, it's okay to put 2012 - for clarity.  Her explanation included how we don't use the "and" when we say "two thousand and seven" for 2007. 

It's just an abbreviated way of speaking.

Oh, your compliment is undeserved!  ;)

Welcome!

You're so smart, Quyen!  Thank you.

Hi, Ana! I would write it 2'05.  It's annoying, isn't it?  I had a witness say something even worse; she kept saying 2000'05, yeah, two thousand oh five.  I don't remember now, but I think that's how I wrote it, 2000'05.

Has anyone come across this?  Witness is referring to years such as 2005 but it pronouncing it two oh five.  How would you write that?  Is it even correct?  She does it all day long.  Thanks!

Heh ... what Keith said!  No reason for capitalization there.

 I wouldn't cap it.  Why do you want to cap it?  I don't see the impetus.

I would use LMEG Rule 86b for this.  "I started taking allergy shots in, I want to say, June." 

"I want to say" is a parenthetical that could be removed and the sentence would still make sense.

"I started taking allergy shots in June."

Would you capitalize "The 12 Steps"?  They are speaking of them in general or a

12-Step program, not as a title of something written -- well, sometimes they talk about a workbook w/ "The 12 Steps" in it.  When I Googled it seemed "The 12 Steps" was capitalized.

Thx

Thank you.  She says it a lot so I wanted to get it right.
