How should it be pronounced?

Twenty-ten, it only makes sense.  In the 90s we didn't say 'one thousand, nine hundred and ninety'.
14 (58.3%)
Two thousand ten.
7 (29.2%)
Two thousand and ten.
3 (12.5%)

I always say it as "two thousand ten". Unlike 1999, where it's 9 syllables to say the whole number properly up from 19-99's 5, this year only has 5 syllables even with correct pronunciation. Why do people feel the need to insert "and" in numbers?

Twenty-Ten sounds ridiculous, like some eyesight measurement (20/10)

ninteen ten, because its fucking easier than the correct way. Eight syllables versus three.  Twenty ten saves you one fucking syllable. You're fucking lazy.

fucking fuck c.mongler jesus fuck


Because this is a stupid debate that's why. Both are perfectly acceptable; it has to do with saving syllables, not because it was a standard set in the nineteen hundreds that is mandatory to continue following.
