I ditto twenty ten. Dropping unnecessary syllables AND the one thousand nine hundred and ninety seven thing
|
#24
|
||||
|

I'll probably say all of them at one point or another. But mostly two oh one oh. Hee hee. Okay not really. I voted two thousand ten.

Same here (Irish). I think two thousand ten/two thousand and ten are the same thing really, but the 'and' is dropped in the US (and maybe Canada?). |
#32
|
||||
|
||||
i believe the 'and' is actually improper.. i looked it up a long time ago cause i was bored & wanted to write out the year on my layout.. but now i can't remember the reasoning

Two thousand and ten for me. I see we are a minority. :-)
ETA: Found an interesting point at Wiki saying that people actually prefer the rhythm and that from 2011 on, twenty-eleven etc. might sound better than two thousand and eleven. I think there's some truth in that. Two thousand and ten has a nice flow, while twenty-ten sounds weird to me. But twenty-eleven, mesa likes. :-) Last edited by adrianka; 12-30-2009 at 12:08 PM. |

20-10 but we're hosting the soccer world so it's been marketed to bits (and drummed into us) as 20-10
|

twenty ten. i feel super cool saying it as well.

It's because saying 'and' in a number is supposed to indicate a decimal place. Saying two thousand and ten turns the number from 2010 to 2000.10. I'm guessing from the responses here though that this isn't the issue in England/Ireland/Australia.

20-10 because the Winter Olympics are being held in the province I live in, and we've been hearing 2010 for a long time around here, gearing up for them.

20-10. i don't really get the "two thousand ten" crowd...how would you all say 1910?? apparently i'm saying that one wrong too.
|
#41

|

Yep, 20-10 here. But in my job, we've been talking about 20-11 and 20-16 for years, so it doesn't seem strange. I'm just waiting for some geek to start saying it like 2 zip 1 zip just to be weird.
