Nineteen-oh-nine, nineteen-ten, nineteen-eleven, etc.

Unless you want to say twenty-oh-ten, the past doesn't help :p

I will stick to saying two-thousand and ten. Saying twenty-ten sounds a bit weird. I know the media is saying it that way. And my parents said that is the right way to say it, but I really like saying it with the thousand. But it doesn't bother me if everyone is saying it the correct way.

Most definitely twenty ten, it clicks better.

RivalGator January 4th, 2010 7:20 PM

Two thousand ten.

I always leave out the 'and' part, for that feels juvenile and unneeded to me for some reason. I hate twenty ten... Sounds like you can't count or speak numbers to me.

Either two thousand and ten or twenty ten, probably both of them. :P

'Two-thousand ten' for me. Saying 'twenty-ten' does sound slightly odd (to me, anyway). I think someone on CNN or something mentioned how we didn't say 'one-thousand nine-hundred ninety-eight' for 1998, and so on. But that would seem like a mouthful back then, so saying 'nineteen ninety-eight' worked. 'Two thousand ten' for 2010 doesn't seem like it takes that long to say, so that's what I'm going with.

In any case, Happy New Year 2010 everyone! :D

In the year 10 when batman was no longer alive a new force arose from the caves...weird. Hmm i think it would be twenty ten.

SonicThrust January 4th, 2010 9:17 PM

Twenty-ten for me. It's just easier to say, although some of the teens sound weird in that format.

I've gotten used to pronouncing the years as numbers for the past 9 years, and I don't see why that should change. I'll keep saying "two thousand and ten". When the years get to something like 2025, 2050, 2070 (God-willing I'll live that long), I'll probably say "twenty twenty five" or something like that. Rolls off the tongue easier than "two thousand and twenty five", don't you think?

Franceschi January 5th, 2010 9:10 AM

I pronounce 2010 as "twenty-ten" - it just sounds better to me. Although, I'll probably change that as we get into 2013 because it doesn't sound as good. XD;

dark charmander January 5th, 2010 9:19 AM

i shall pronounce it twenty ten

Cheesymitten January 5th, 2010 9:37 AM

Two thousand and ten for me.
I'm not sure why but I just feel that it feels nicer to say than twenty ten..

The Apprentice™ January 5th, 2010 9:41 AM

This year I'm going to use Twenty-Ten. I don't know it just sounds different, that's why I'm saying it. ^_^


Harmonie January 5th, 2010 10:18 AM

Two thousand and ten for me.

Although I have said it the other way, it was a mistake. =P

Emotion. January 5th, 2010 10:57 AM

I hate when people say Twenty-Ten, Twenty-Eleven, Twenty-Twelve and etc, but I'm starting to do that myself.
I want to say it Two thousand and ten.

Team Rocket's Raichu January 7th, 2010 6:02 PM

Every single person in my town in the middle of nowhere says two thousand and ten.

Cursed Cubone January 7th, 2010 6:41 PM

I call it "Twenty-Ten"

Dukey January 7th, 2010 7:08 PM

Twenty-Ten, Two thousand and ten is too much effort.

Skip Class January 7th, 2010 8:57 PM

apart that it sounds weird I say 0 ten but most of the time it's Twenty-Ten

kjmj14 January 7th, 2010 9:20 PM

In our country we say it as "Dalawampu't Sampu"...
That's filipino words... :D

ArcanineOod January 8th, 2010 1:24 PM

For me it's something along the lines of:

Two thousannnten.
Or perhaps, if I'm feeling very lazy, two thousand ten.

Two thousand and ten just feels like too much of a mouthful. I will say it in formal conversation, but otherwise I'll shorten it to the 'nn' sound instead of the clear 'and'.

I just don't want to say 'twenty ten'. It doesn't sound like a year to me, it's more like a code or just a random two numbers.

Kotone January 8th, 2010 2:17 PM

i pronounce it two thousand ten.

Saltare. January 8th, 2010 2:33 PM

Two-thousand-and-ten. It's gonna take me months to write "2010" on my papers...

Bianca Paragon January 8th, 2010 5:44 PM

Twenty/Ten is the only correct way to pronounce it :3
Saying "Two Thousand Ten" is like saying 1999 as "Nineteen Hundred Ninety-Nine".
Which was all know is ridiculousness, as its pronounced "Nineteen/Ninety-Nine"

Honest January 10th, 2010 9:57 AM

Twenty Ten all the way. Sounds better. :P

I'm gonna keep writing 2009 on all my papers... takes like a month for me to get used to used, probably more. :P
