View Full Version : How Are You Saying The Year 2010? JamesG 12-17-2009, 03:18 AM Just wondering on how you are saying the new year? tv star collector 12-17-2009, 09:30 AM 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 12-17-2009, 11:00 AM 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". PZelda 12-17-2009, 04:43 PM Twenty-ten. I was born in nineteen eighty-five, not one thousand nine hundred eighty-five. :) Janice 12-17-2009, 05:29 PM 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." :) Sounds like a plan to me. :) Scoobiedoo30 12-17-2009, 05:39 PM Twenty-ten phoebe7165 12-17-2009, 05:44 PM Twenty-ten MrCleveland 12-17-2009, 05:53 PM Twenty Ten! Hopefully this brings in a better decade. Faith 12-17-2009, 06:18 PM twenty ten JamesG 01-01-2010, 01:24 AM On tv commercials I'm hearing them say "Twenty-Ten" so I guess that's the way to go. Mr. Television 01-01-2010, 01:36 AM twenty ten spunkygirl 01-01-2010, 01:40 AM Twenty ten for the reasons listed above ;) Family Ties Forever! 01-01-2010, 01:55 AM Two thousand ten JAlanRuss72 01-01-2010, 03:27 AM Two Thousand Ten MrRetro_08 01-01-2010, 12:20 PM I'm going to say it as Two-thousand Ten, it just seems more natural to me. Pitooey 01-01-2010, 12:42 PM Two thousand ten *Pleasant Tomorrow* 01-01-2010, 07:41 PM 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.

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.

I am just too used to saying two thousand... It just sounds weird to say twenty ten. PZelda 01-02-2010, 12:52 AM 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. *Pleasant Tomorrow* 01-02-2010, 01:16 AM ^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 01-02-2010, 05:31 PM Two-thousand ten spunkygirl 01-02-2010, 06:16 PM I think twenty ten sounds better than constantly saying "two thousand ten". yankeesrj12 01-02-2010, 08:16 PM Two thousand ten. I didn't say twenty nine (2009), so there is no reason to change now. Schmoopie 01-02-2010, 08:37 PM 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. |
