Poll: 2010 or 2010?

[Pyode]

Twenty-Ten is correct way of saying it.

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

This.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

I have yet to say the year thus far.

 

[Aqualung]

Other: I say two thousand ten.

It's not 'one thousand and two hundred', it's 'one thousand, two hundred'. Silly kids and your ands.

 

[yosophat]

I'm going to refer to it as Twenty-X but I rarely say years so...

 

[Bernzz]

[sub]Must resist urge to say "I say 2010."[/sub]

I say Twenty-Ten. Two-Thousand-and-Ten just takes longer to say. Plus, I dunno, I just like saying it like Twenty-Ten. So nyah!

[sub]Oh yeah, educated sentence ending there, mate![/sub]

Please use the Search bar I saw this just a few days ago.

Twenty-Ten

 

[FalloutJack]

It's spelt "Twenty-Ten" but pronounced "Throat-Wobbler-Mangrove".

 

[MK Tha Rebel]

Twenty Ten. I like the sound of that one better.

 

[KillerH]

I'll just call this decade a write off.

OT(which is funny trying to stay on topic in the off topic section): I just say the teens for the upcoming 2010-2019.

 

[Viper1265]

This year is twenty ten, next year will be two thousand eleven and the year after that will be twenty twelve, I'll just go with which method rolls of the tounge better.

 

[Graustein]

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]

As I understand it, it's part of the UK/US English divide. In UK English, it is customary to include the "and".

Personally, I switch between twenty-ten and two-thousand-and-ten. Either's fine with me.

 

[Guy32]

I like twenty-ten better.

Seriosuly? Ok: Two Thousand(d isn't pronounced much but is still pronounced 'sort of') an'ten (the d from 'and' just runs into the t from ten)

 

[bob-2000]

I say two thousand and ten because twenty-ten is thirty and it is not thirty, dammit!

 

[Dags90]

My memory could be faulty, but in British English, wouldn't "two-thousand AND ten" be two-thousand and ten one-hundreths? (2000.10 or 2000,10 depending on where you live) I thought I heard that in elementary school.

This is what I've been taught in any mathematics course I've taken on how to pronounce large numbers. For reference I live in the U.S. I'm certain the correct way to pronounce the number would not include the word "and".

Also, I pronounce it as twenty ten. To me it's more consistent.

 

[duchaked]

I just say twenty-ten out of habit now haha guess it's just easier to say
