How do you say 2010?
 

So, how do you say 2010?

Twenty ten. I'm just glad we're done with that 2 thousand nine mouthful.

I find myself going back and forth either when I read it or when I say it. Although, Twenty-Ten is pretty easy to say.

Well, to be a pedant, it should be "two thousand ten" not "two thousand and ten" -- the 'and' denotes a decimal point. :right:

Not to Brits.

Twenty-ten

In higher education, years are the last half of one and the first half of the next. So, we say oh eight oh nine (08/09), for the year that started in 2008. When we started discussing this year as the last half of the academic and FA year, people would say oh nine oh ten (09/10). People had to train themselves to leave the 'oh' out.

But I say two thousand ten, for the year.

Nerd.

I voted twenty-ten because I believe in saving time.

My wife and I just had this argument this morning. We went onto the web for vindication and couldn't find a reputable source that vindicated either of us. Or to be more precise, we found equal numbers of sites to support both positions.

I say twenty ten -- possibly influenced by a song from my youth In the year 2525 -- sung as twenty-five twenty-five.

I'm gonna hafta pull rank on you folks.

The car business sets this trend. always has. and we say 'oh ten'.

that's why the Oh Ten cars come out in August.....just so we can take charge of this kind of thing.

Ha! So it's not just us.

Just like the whole Y2K scare, no one thought ahead of time how we will say 2010. Someone should have anticipated this shit. :p

(side note) on the plots on my grammy and gramps headstones, they had put the year gramps died and only put '19--' for grammy. She was like, yeah, that's a bit early for me. She died this year (oh heck, I mean last year) at 97, sharp as a tack as always. :)

That's the craziest thing I ever heard.

That means I was born in nine sixty seven
