Enig med Svein om at kjempeår høres kleint ut, men som Brigid nevner så får det 15,000 ghits, "kun" 2,500 mindre enn toppår. Idet dette er en business tekst så holder jeg meg likevel til toppår.

Tusen, tusen takk for hjelpen alle sammen!

agree  Per Bergvall: Heisan - jeg liker kjempeår bedre enn rekordår, da du godt kan ha et bumper year uten å slette en eneste rekord. Ellers er vel ikke to alternative forslag helt forenlig med en confidence level på 4?

  -> Er de ikke det? De kan vel være like gode, men er begge avhengige av andre faktorer som kontekst, stilniva, osv.

rekordår


Explanation:
Toppår er et bra forslag også, men her er ett til. Jeg får forøvrig over 10 ganger flere hits på google når jeg søker på rekordår kontra toppår. :-)
