Poll: 2010 or 2010?

[similar.squirrel]

Two thousand and ten. We didn't say twenty oh-nine did we?

 

[Hippobatman]

Null ti.*

Or "Oh ten" in English. Get it? 010.

It's got more snap to it.

Twenty-Ten is correct way of saying it.

1998 is not called "One-Thousand-Nine-Hundred-Ninety-Eight" it's called "Nineteen-Ninety-Eight"

Fix'd, and...

But my Aunt kept calling it "nineteen-hundred-and-ninety-eight"...

I just swap between the two for 2010.

Because two thousand ten = 2000 10

Two thousand and ten = 2010 (basically it means 2000 + 10).

OT: Which is how I say it.

Yeah, but it's more normal to say* two thousand ten
Oh, and no, it would have to be plus to be right in my opinion

*[sub]Which is what the thread is about[/sub]

I haven't actually heard anyone say it that way.
Everyone always puts in the "and".

Well, at least where I live. Maybe it's different for you. =]

I second this. The "and" is customary around here too.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Uhm, two zero one zero?

 

[KaiRai]

I say two-o-one-o.

I like to be different

EDIT: Ninja'd!!....

 

[ResonanceSD]

Two thousand ten

Why do people keep adding "and"?

Because it's the only alternative to Twenty ten. Saying Two Thousand Ten makes you sound like someone who confuses 2000 10 with 2010.

 

[Indecizion]

Meh two thousand and ten simply coz its easier, not that i exactly have to say it often.

 

[TheGhostOfSin]

I've decided to call this year Alan, and I'm happy with my choice

 

[mikecoulter]

I say "Two thousand and ten". Purely because it sounds better to me.

 

[J234]

Twenty-ten makes it sound like we're all in the future, with flying cars and jetpacks and robotic maids that give us automatic blowjobs whenever we want.....oh, wait was that just me?

 

[Pimppeter2]

I say 'Bananas'

 

[jboking]

Twenty ten. It just rolls easier. It also reminds me that we are entering the 20XX age, which makes me very excited.

 

[Cryo84R]

If you say two thousand ten, then you MUST have been saying One thousand nine hundred ninety nine, in 1999.

Otherwise you are being terribly inconsistent.

 

[Bat Vader]

I say 010 like how I used to say 09 or 08. It bugged me actually whether to say 2010, 10, or 010. I went with 010.

 

[Jaranja]

Two thousand ten

Why do people keep adding "and"?

Because two thousand ten = 2000 10

Two thousand and ten = 2010 (basically it means 2000 + 10).

OT: Which is how I say it.

Great explanation.

Anyway, I say it as "This year" or, if I'm pushed into choosing one, twenty-ten.

Do you reckon it depends where you live?

 

[Shadowfaze]

i dont care how i say it. Pointless to make something of it.
