Should 118 be read as 一百一十八 or 一百十八?
The year number is always read digit by digit, so 2018年 is read as 二〇一八年.



118 should be read as 一百一十八 in Standard Mandarin Chinese according to the mathematics textbooks in primary school, but the non-standard 一百十八 is also common.

Similarly, the number 2018 (without 年) should be read as 二千零一十八 in Standard Mandarin Chinese.
