Hello!

New decade now. Fantastic. New year as well, funnily enough. BUT!

...

Remember when it arrived?

The new Millennium?

2000!

But something did go amiss. Something that has eaten away at me through years 0-9...

Remember the year before 2000?

I remember. It was 1999. Like that Prince song.

It was Nineteen Ninety Nine.

Then there was the year two thousand.

... and it ruined EVERYTHING.

I have tolerated the *2000* fad 0-9 but enough is enough!

I say dear friends: happy new year not to two thousand and ten but... TO TWENTY TEN!

Why?

Because it is accurate and additionally COOL sounding. WE ARE the FUTURE (minus the hoverboard for now).

The new Millennium started with 2001.

The new Millennium started with 2001.

But the 2000s didn't.

I'm going to nitpick and say we compromise: how about Two Thousand Ten without the "and"?? I don't care if it sounds cool or not, I'll leave that up to others.

And forget the hoverboard, can anybody help me convert my wheelchair so it flies?? Now, that would be cool!

Where's my flying car, dammit?

"Twenty ten" sounds lame. I'm more of a "two thousand and ten" guy.
