The Year 2010.
« on: December 28, 2009, 06:05:08 pm »
I have heard people reference the coming year both ways and was wondering how it'll all turn out.

I'm gonna say Two-thousand ten myself. ;)

I will refer to it as: "The year of our Lord, two thousand and ten."  ;D  Or maybe just "10".

I'm tempted to speak it informally as "oh ten" as we have done with the preceding nine years.

"aught ten"
"two thousand ten"
"twenty ten"
"next year"

are some I've used.

"twenty ten" most often, I think.  ;D

 Twenty ten, just cause that's what they call it here because of the Olympics that will be hosted here in 20 10.

I don't recall ever having referred to any years in the previous century as "One thousand, nine hundred, somethingorother", so why would I say "Two thousand"? ??? ::)

How about "two double oh one", "two double oh two", etc?  Not!  :)    ;)

The kiwi's and aussies have good (and interesting) shortcuts and nicknames (seems to me). What are they coming up with?   ;D
