2010

[Starbreaker]

I pronounce it 2010.

 

[Shikarnov]

I'll be saying "Twenty Ten"

FWIW, the only time I used the word "thousand" was in 2000. After that it was "Twenty oh One", "Twenty oh Two", and so so forth.

 

[JuanBolio]

Two-thousand-ten.

I won't start abbreviating the year to "twenty-whatever" until 2013. I don't think it'd sound good til then.

 

[Michael Chris]

I pronounce it 2010.

Win.

Twenty-Ten for me. Also the current decade is "The Oughts."

 

[UncleRogi]

Two-thousand-ten.

(my God! It's full of stars! )

My thought exactly!!

 

[Daneel]

I've been saying two-thousand-____ for every other year so far this century -- I don't see that changing when we get to 2010.

 

[Geckothan]

Two thousand and ten.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Two Thousand Ten. I'll segue into "twenty" somewhere in the teens.

And I call the current decade "The Naughts."

 

[cultcross]

Two-thousand-ten.

I won't start abbreviating the year to "twenty-whatever" until 2013. I don't think it'd sound good til then.

Ditto, I think 'twenty-' will work for 2013 and onwards, and in fact sound better, but 'two thousand' will be sticking around for me through 2012. While twenty-ten, twenty-eleven etc doesn't sound half as stupid as twenty-oh-nine, I still prefer the 'two thousand-' version for now.

At least in the UK, 'the noughties' seems to be sticking as the decade name.

 

[iguana_tonante]

"Two thousands ten".

I'll start using "twenty whatever" between 2013 and 2020, probably depending on media usage (my first source of English, since it's not my first language).

In Italian we we use only the "two thousands whatever" form (duemila, duemilauno, duemiladue... ). Even the 19... used that (1978 was "one thousand nine hundred seventy eight", for example, in Italian "millenovecentosettantotto").

 

[Roshi]

Twenty-ten. It's scifi-ish. Kinda reminds me of Blade Runner, when I heard for the first time "Twenty-seventeen".

 

[curiously_boy]

Twenty Ten.
or Two thousand and ten.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Two-thousand-ten.

I won't start abbreviating the year to "twenty-whatever" until 2013. I don't think it'd sound good til then.

Perhaps this is the new world order that will happen after 2012 as allegedly predicted by the Mayans, the change from "two thousand and..." to "twenty-"?

I also wonder: will they still be playing Twenty20 cricket in 2020?

 

[Da'an]

Two thousand and ten.

2010 is a single number, it's not 20:10 or 20.10 or anything else, it's 2010.

It's like calling 23 "Two-Three".

 

[captcalhoun]

two thousand AND ten.

 

[cultcross]

I also wonder: will they still be playing Twenty20 cricket in 2020?

Two thousand and twenty cricket? sure.

 

[trekkiedane]

2-10

 

[SilentP]

Twenty-ten, just because it's quicker.

And I call the current decade the 'Naughties'

 

[Sam_I_Am]

Two thousand and ten.

2010 is a single number, it's not 20:10 or 20.10 or anything else, it's 2010.

It's like calling 23 "Two-Three".

So did you call 1999, 'Nineteen hundred and ninety-nine' or just 'nineteen ninety-nine'?

 

[SalvorHardin]

I like Two-thousand-ten better...
