2014... except no substitutes.

The other year is a naught, bad, bad year!!!

As a variation on the SRD based convention, I include 5.0 along with 5.1 and 5.2 to indicate periods in the publishing history.

Written, I use 5.0 v 5.24. Spoken, I use 5.0 (or 5e 2014) vs 2024.

I've been using 5.14 and 5.24 but I'd be fine with shortening it to 5.1 and 5.2 if that became the common convention. I assume in around a decade we'll get either 5.3(4?) or 6e.

5.14 and 5.25 because I'm really hoping for 5.27.

I tend to go with 5.14e/5.24e.

My preference would be 5.0/5.5. But I see 2014/2024 used more often now, and I‘m willing to go with that, too, if most people like it better.

This is my thought as well. I seem to only need it on this site and the only times I talk about it with my group I used old/new 5e. I have searched for some stuff online and found I needed the 2024 bit.

We need to go back and grandfather in the new nomenclature for 3e and 3.5e.
