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"?

SallyC 09-05-2010 12:32 PM

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...

freeinhou 09-10-2010 06:20 AM

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.

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

that's what I say, too.

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:

SallyC 09-17-2010 10:53 PM

We'll probably all shorten it to twenty-ten after we have to say it a 100 million times .:D
