Actually you're a loving imbecile who doesn't know how numbers work. Two thousand and fourteen would mean two different numbers where as two thousand fourteen is one number.

I thought the proper way(that nobody uses) of pronouncing large numbers was 2512.5 two thousand, five hundred, twelve and five.

The 'and' was reserved for the decimal. At least that's proper British English.
