However it comes out of my mouth at the time.

*Meowth V.2* January 2nd, 2010 5:52 AM

For me, two thousand and ten.

Soari January 2nd, 2010 6:56 AM

Twenty-ten is probably the most easiest way to say.

Uecil January 2nd, 2010 7:40 AM

two thousand and ten, to break it up to-thou-sand-and-ten yup like that ^_^

Lana. January 2nd, 2010 7:58 AM

Twenty-ten.

I like the sound of it.

Jordan January 2nd, 2010 8:04 AM

I'll say both. Year after year of hearing different ways of saying years' names have made me lose consistency.

Ayselipera January 2nd, 2010 8:14 AM

I'll stick with two thousand and ten. I hate when people say twenty-ten. >:<

MarstheCar January 2nd, 2010 10:06 AM

Two thousand and ten is more familiar to me.

Caelus January 2nd, 2010 10:11 AM

I was thinking of using two thousand ten, but now I'll probably use twenty ten instead, since it's easier for me to say and because it's like how we pronounced the years before 2000.


But I'll probably use whichever comes to mind first since I was so used to pronouncing it like the former.

Graceful January 2nd, 2010 10:12 AM

I Say "2000 & Ten" I'm Just Used To It....^_^

The Corrupt Plague January 2nd, 2010 11:23 AM

I personally prefer twenty-ten.

©ereal Killer January 2nd, 2010 11:51 AM

Twenty Ten...

But 2KX sounds awesomer so yeah 2KX from now on :3

Haza January 2nd, 2010 2:18 PM

Two Thousand and Ten, I dont like shortening years at all.

Comrade Nikita Ivanova January 2nd, 2010 2:29 PM

Probably twenty-ten. I mean, I don't even like how it sounds or anything, but since I talk more about the years before 2000, the consistency will be nice.

LightEspeon ♥! January 2nd, 2010 2:50 PM

Maybe o'ten
two thousand and ten.
not twenty ten because I find twenty tounge twisting. @[email protected]

Pazuru January 2nd, 2010 3:02 PM

I'll prolly do both Two-thousand and Ten and Twenty-Ten. Just whatever comes out of my mouth at the time.

The reason why no one did it was because it would be confusing to say "twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, etc."

I would say "twenty-ten", because its easier and faster to say than "two-thousand and ten".

vanna. January 2nd, 2010 3:39 PM

I think I'll go with "two thousand ten."
For some reason it sounds better to me.

Lady Gaga January 2nd, 2010 3:40 PM

It will be a mix, but "two thousand and ten" will be said more often :3

Yamikarasu January 2nd, 2010 5:19 PM

If you want to pronounce it "two thousand and ten," then be prepared to pronounce 2011 as "two thousand and eleven." Ugh.

Twenty Ten. It sounds more futuristic imo.

Black Ice January 2nd, 2010 5:26 PM

Two thousand ten. Screw the "and". Same way I said 2009.

mikey January 2nd, 2010 6:45 PM

I always say Two-Thousand Ten. It's simple.

Sublime January 2nd, 2010 7:07 PM

I'm stuck in the "oh-one, oh-two, etc" habit. I've caught myself saying "oh-ten" already. I suppose that'll stick XD;

Gummy January 2nd, 2010 7:08 PM

I think "twenty ten" rolls off the tongue much easier than "oh ten" or "two thousand ten".

Cherrim January 2nd, 2010 7:11 PM

I wish this were an actual poll because this has been bothering me so much for the last month. I constantly catch myself having an internal monologue that goes something like "Oh god, what am I going to call 2010? We've been saying two thousand and ____ for years, so should we continue like that? That'll get annoying in two thousand ninety nine. But what if twenty ten doesn't catch on?? It sounds kinda silly but it is much less of a mouthful."

And it honestly continues for a while. :( IT'S BUGGING ME. I've been saying both. Everyone I've polled about this (which is more people than I'd like to admit) says they're switching back and forth until society sticks with one. I think that's the best idea.

Anyone know what they did in the early 1900s? Have we always said like... eighteen sixty-eight? Should we change that pattern because twenty-oh-nine sounds weird? Will that even sound weird years from now?? THIS KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT.
