How Are You Saying The Year 2010?

[JamesG]

Just wondering on how you are saying the new year?

[tv star collector]

I might be in the minority, but I pronounce it "twenty-ten," reasoning that
the year 1910 is not pronounced "one thousand nine hundred ten." :)

[DLevine2]

I will be pronouncing it "Two-Thousand Ten". 100 Years ago from that year I would be calling it "Nineteen Ten". Sometimes I might call it "Twenty Ten".

Twenty-ten. I was born in nineteen eighty-five, not one thousand nine hundred eighty-five. :)

Sounds like a plan to me. :)

Twenty-ten

[MrCleveland]

Twenty Ten!

Hopefully this brings in a better decade.

[Faith]

twenty ten

[JamesG]

On tv commercials I'm hearing them say "Twenty-Ten" so I guess that's the way to go.

[Stuck In The '70's]

twenty ten

[Dragonflies]

Twenty ten for the reasons listed above ;)

[Family Ties Forever!]

Two thousand ten

[JAlanRuss72]

Two Thousand Ten

I'm going to say it as Two-thousand Ten, it just seems more natural to me.

[Pitooey]

Two thousand ten

I'm already too used to saying two thousand-whatever. Like yeah, I know in 1910 they said it nineteen ten...but they also said nineteen oh nine, nineteen oh eight, etc. We've just been saying two thousand since 2000 so it's weird to say it the other way all of a sudden. Maybe it'd be different if we had started saying twenty oh one in 2001. I dunno, maybe when I get used to it I'll change my mind but for now I'm saying two thousand ten.

I agree. We didn't refer to last year as twenty oh nine, or any of the years in this decade like that. So the 1910 logic doesn't make all that much sense to me.

Ditto. I am just too used to saying two thousand... It just sounds weird to say twenty ten.

Do we put a comma in our years? No, right? Question answered. TWENTY-TEN, YEAH, BABY!

2010 ≠ 2,010.

And as for the last decade... I avoided saying "thousand" unless I was saying "two thousand" as in the year 2000. I sign, so I don't speak. I signed all the other years as "two-zero-zero-one" through "two-zero-zero-nine." Thank god I don't have to do that anymore. Signing "twenty-ten" is so much easier.

^Understandable. But personally, twenty ten just sounds weird to me. I didn't think about it before this thread, but when I heard it said that way on some commercials earlier I actually started yelling at my TV. I didn't know a number could fill me with such passion.

[browneyes106]

Two-thousand ten

[Dragonflies]

I think twenty ten sounds better than constantly saying "two thousand ten".

[yankeesrj12]

Two thousand ten.

I didn't say twenty nine (2009), so there is no reason to change now.

[Schmoopie]

I've been saying two thousand ten, but I never really thought about calling it "twenty ten" until one of my Facebook friends mentioned it.
