I can't believe we're over halfway through this year and people are still using the latter two.  akudood;

twenty-ten is preferred, though i still accidentally call it "two thousand ten" at times

I usually say two thousand ten  :(

two thousand ten. you know why? because its not a fucking mouthful like one thousand ninehundred ninty nine so there's no reason to not be fucking correct. fuck.

Two thousand and ten to give myself a stroke.  n_u

twunny-tin

I want to know who voted for two thousand and ten so I can kick them in their stupid cunt.

when it was 2009 did you assholes all say twenty nine or what?

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)

how do the fags who picked the last two options pronounce 1910

Deux mille dix :0)

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.

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.

People only call it two thousand ten because they are used to using that format for the past 9 years (10 including 2000).

Now that we can say twenty- _______ again, we should.

We just couldn't the past 10 years cause you can't say twenty-nine, twenty-five, etc.

You wouldn't say "nineteen nine" either, you would say "nineteen oh nine"

aught sounds cooler to me 5thgrade;

though, realistically, i'm sure it would be twenty-oh-nine
