If Alex is pronouncing 2014 as 2013 then you have a very serious
problem indeed.
My point is, Alex says the word "and" when pronouncing a four digit
string such as a year.
That is simply wrong and should not be.
And signifies a decimal point.
As in:
ttwenty dollars and fourteen cents.

Hi,
Alex pronounces years just fine for me. 2014 is pronounced as "two
thousand thirteen", no "and" or any other anomaly.
