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. ;)

In the year 25-25.

Me to. there is no such number as twenty ten. Twenty tens is 200. Twenty and ten is 30. two thousand ten is what it is. Shall it be said, shall it be written. Amen.

Besides, Twenty Ten just sounds Stupid.

Jeff opens a can of worms (numbers).

1999
seems we I called it nineteen ninety nine.
Nineteen ninety nines is 1881
Nineteen and ninety nine is 118

But in 2000 I likely didn't say 20 aught aught, or anything but two thousand.  Hmmm?

Now I don't know nuthin.  ;D

The proper way to say 1999 would have been nineteen hundred and ninty nine. You probably have said it that way at one time or another.  Its the number of years. so 2 thousand 10 is the proper way to state the year.

There is precedent here.  There was some momentous event that occurred in the year 1066.  I forget what it was, but I recall ALL of my teacher referred to it as Ten Sixty Six.  I never heard a single reference to One Thousand Sixty Six.

Besides, bugging Jeff is reason enough for me to say it that way. ;D :D

I called the year, in the previous century, nineteen hundred and 'lebin'
I seem to be calling the years in this century, two thousand and nine.  I don't know why, except that I was taught that that (?) was the proper way to identify that number.  I would call it two thousand and nine dollars, if I had it in my pocket.  :-\

When I get to 2100, I might call it twenty-one hundred, just because it rolls off of the tongue a little easier.  I don't know what I'll call 2200 yet.  Have to think on that one a bit.  :)
