I say twenty-thirteen because it's the easiest way to say it. Also, it makes sense to say twenty because we got sixteen-thirteen, seventeen-thirteen, eighteen-thirteen, nineteen-thirteen, and then twenty-thirteen. How does it make sense to jump form nineteen-thirteen to two-thousand thirteen? LOL, whatever floats your goat.

Twenty-thirteen. The correct way. 1995 wasn't 'one thousand nine hundred and ninety-five'.

Two thousand and thirteen. I've actually gotten pretty used to calling it its actual number since we hit the 00's, as I still hear plenty of people calling it that.
I think though that once we get to 2101, many more will start to say it more like 'twenty one one' (or 'twenty one oh one', whichever).
