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. ;)

breederman

I say two thousand and ten,but some times I am asked if english is really my 1st language. ;D
Together we got this !

Warbird

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

Jasperfield

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

easymoney

call it whatever you want i am just thankful i made it this far. i have already made it to the big 70. how many more is anybodys guess.   ;D

beenthere

"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 have you been pronouncing 2001, 2002, 2003 and the others then ??? :D

Look straight at the calendar and say "twenty-ten"!

When I was born they said "nineteen-fortynine"!  Whew!

Maybe it's just me but I've been saying two-thousand one, two thousand three, etc ::)

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

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

Jeff

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 no need to say 'unleaded regular gas'. It's all unleaded. Just say 'regular gas'. It's not the 70s anymore. (At least that's what my wife tells me.)

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

Hmmm.  Maybe we munge up "twenty" and "aught", and call the year 2010 "taught-10".

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.  :)

After more thought and reflection on this today I'm sure that I haven't heard for the last 9 years,
twenty-o-one, twenty o-two and twenty o-three.  At least not in my circle. ;)

SwampDonkey

I say 20 10, cause I'm stupid.

Oh, and I'm on dial-up.

So yeah, that explains it, eh? :D

Wait, I didn't say I never said 2010 on occasion. ;)

NAGG says "twenty ten", in short, it is shorter to say and humans usually take the shortest route.

Happy New Year.  I hope the Mexicans can keep thing cool, they have a track record of breaking down, 1809-1810, 1909-1910 year transitions.  I hope they break the tradition, if not we may see the results.
