Are people going to say,"Two thousand and ten", or "Twenty ten"?
I'm going to start saying 2010 as twenty ten. And then twenty eleven, etc.

Re: 2010
Wed, October 21, 2009 - 5:11 AMtwenty-ten. Just like nineteen-eightynine. Although I have already found myself say two zero one zero, which, really, is just wrong. -

Re: 2010
Wed, October 21, 2009 - 5:34 AM<<<<< two zero one zero >>>>
That is wrong....at least its numerically correct instead
of some people saying Two "O" one "O"...
Hate when people use the "O" instead of a zero when rattling off a series of numbers.... -

Wed, October 21, 2009 - 6:11 AM.......as hollow as the O in God.............
Arthur C. Clark probably said two thousand ten. Twenty ten sounds more modern.

Mon, October 26, 2009 - 8:44 PMI hate it when coupon codes have 0's in them. I have a harder time at work, first entering with 0's then O's, then sometimes there's one 0 and one O, I might have to try 4 times to get the right combination. They should just leave 0's and O's out of coupon discount codes. -

Mon, October 26, 2009 - 9:04 PMLOL Christie I totaly hear you on that.
I know this is kind of random but your words on the displeasure of the numeral 0 is something the anti muslim right wingers should support after all it was muslim arabs who gave us the Zero we should just abandon it. -

Re: 2010
Mon, October 26, 2009 - 9:12 PMIt does make sense, doesn't it. In the previous century it was 19 this and 19 that. I think Two thousand... is only appropriate till the 9th year of the century. And maybe the 10th year, too, until everyone gets used to the 20 designation. The rest of the century works well with saying twenty-ten, twenty-twenty, twenty-twenty-five and so on.
That's why it sounds futuristic, M. It is the future.

Re: 2010
Thu, October 29, 2009 - 9:25 PM"Next Year" works for me. And then next year I'll say "This Year." And then in 2011 I'll say "last year." But in 2011 I'll probably say twenty eleven.
