Can someone here put me on the right path on how to pronounce 2018. Do you say twenty eighteen or two thousand and eighteen.
Must admit since the start of the new millenium I have never know which one is graphically correct

Twenty eighteen definitely.
From twenty ten onwards it seemed logical to drop the mouthful two thousand bit and it follows on from the use of nineteen forty, nineteen ninety nine etc.
