2010 or 2010
I think this has been a thread before, but don't remember, so I am doing it again.
Do you say it "Two-thousand and Ten" Or "Twenty-Ten"? And next year "Two thousand eleven" or "Twenty eleven"? |
I say it Two thousand-ten (no and)
|
Me too.......
|
Sometimes I say, "Oh-ten" and get a secret chuckle out of how many people don't even notice it.
|
This year is '10' and next is '11'. Since for me they are the first there is no confusion.:)
|
I say twenty-ten. Not sure why, just think it sounds better and is shorter! Yep i'm lazy lol!
|
Twenty-ten...For word economy, or laziness, I'm not sure which...
|
last year was "o nine"
This year I usually say "o ten" for the same reason as Cindy unless it's a serious discussion then I just say "10". More commonly I refer to "F Y 10", "F Y 11", etc., since I work to a different fiscal year than the calendar year. Tom |
Hahahaha....I don't use fiscal year anymore, so if I said F Y 10 or F Y 11, whoever I was talking to would be highly insulted. Probably even hit me hard...Think I'll stick with 20-10. :D
|
"Twenty-ten" is easier to say. I'm tending to favor it but sometimes I've said "Two thousand ten."
Some sounds are hard for me to come out with. Saying "thousand" isn't easy, IMO. |
I remember all the fuss about "Y2K"
Everything had that written on it. Shirts, dolls, poster, etc. Big scary day.:cool: Then I said, 01, 02, or I said I bought a 04 car. When 09 came and went it became 20-10. It sounds so futuristic to me.:) It also helps me remember to write my checks that way so I wouldn't forget to change the year. Some new checks have 20__. imprinted on them. They will last my lifetime that's for sure. :D |

Great Question
I say "Two Thousand Ten". Why? I don't know..... I never said "One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Nine" for 1999 ?!?!?
I'll be thinking about that a lot now. :confused: |
We'll probably all shorten it to twenty-ten after we have to say it a 100 million times .:D
