2010: How will you say it ?

[Gavin]

[SIZE=1]Based on an off-hand remark between myself and a friend during a conversation today I'm curious how people are going to refer to the coming year, that is to say will you say [B]two thousand and ten[/B],[B] two thousand ten[/B] or [B]twenty-ten[/B], and why ?

Personally I fall into the latter camp of twenty ten, simply because it's the fluid to say and most modern sounding by comparison, two thousand and ten, or the shorter two thousand ten are rather a mouthful. Added to that most almost every pronunciation of a year occurring after 2009 up to and possibly including the next millennium use the twenty x form.

I'll probably say Oh Ten out of habit.

That being said, it isn't wrong.

But for the sake of the poll, I'll say Twenty Ten.

[Rachmaninoff]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]I've already been thinking of it as two thousand ten. So I imagine that will stick, at least for now. [/FONT]

Twenty ten sounds the catchiest to me.

I'm wondering what the graduating kiddos are going to call their classes. Class of "ten"? Before there were class of ninety nine... With the single digits (excluding zero) the "o" was added like in o' one, o' two, etc. So once it gets to double digits again, I wonder if they're going to refer to it as standard numbers.

[color=deeppink]Since I never said anything like "one thousand nintey-nine" regarding the last century, and still say things like "twenty nine" now, I don't think I'll change the habit.[/color]

I'm going to say "1 plus 1 plus 1 plus..." until I get to 2010.

I won't speak to anyone who suggests otherwise.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Ten. Short and sweet.

But I'm sure I will accidentally say oh-ten a few times. It's a habit.

I'll take a page from the Japanese and shorten it to an even further point beyond recognition; something like "twete".

[SIZE="1"][color=#35425e]^ Very KISS, Allamorph.

It's "twenty-ten" for me.

On a different note, how will this decade be referred to by our offspring? There was "the 20's", "the 30's" and so forth, but I've never really heard of the 1910-1919 decade as "the 10's".[/COLOR][/SIZE]

I will be calling it twothousand and nine for quite some time.

[demon39536]

I think I will be saying two thousand ten out of habit, I alsways said two thousand ___ for 2000-2009 so, I don't think that will change soon. Time seems to be moving really fast lately, today I accidentaly put 09 for the year when writing the date, and I also put that the month was October, which is waayy off. It seems as if you just get used to the new month and it changes doesn't it?

[HopscotchEyelid]

Out of habit I'll say two thousand ten, but to be consistent I should say twenty ten. Before 2000, it was always nineteen whatever. In 1990, no one said one thousand nine hundred ninety, so I just think in the same way people said nineteen ninety we should say twenty ten.
