How will you pronounce 2010?

Because you say the word hundred - so its "one hundred, and one" the comparable way of saying twenty-two would be "two tens and two".
Personally I don't care if you use the "and" or not, but that's my theory on why it's there. If they'd come up with a hundreds varient of the "ty"s for the tens numbers when they were inventing number names then everything would be simpler.
What the heck is your point?
We said Nineteen Ten and now we're saying Twenty Ten.
Why the heck should that be wrong? Because it's easy to say? That's why you don't do things...because they're easy?
Twenty-ten. Hurray for syllable economy!
...Help me.
...Help me.
Twennyten.
Depends on the mood in a particular day, but probably "twenty-ten"
This, plus 'twenty-ten' has harsher syllables, rather than the silibant syllables that make up 'two thousand (and) ten', which is more comfortable for me to say.
I will refer to it as "The Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Ten." Should be fun.
Duemiladieci.
twenty ten.
But mostly I'll be doing it in Danish though; tyv' ti.

Twenty-ten...
...and in part due to the geeky reason that I've been used to dealing with Trek years as "twenty-three-seventy-five" and the like.

Yeah, better than saying "three hundred" in there.
Besides, it's smoother signing twenty ten than spelling out 2-0-1-0. It was easier with 2 00 x. But not anymore
As Snaploud indicated, it used to be the custom to say "twenty and ten" or "ten and twenty;" though it's out of fashion currently, it's not wrong.
