We are nearly at a time where most of the world will make a historical decision- what will you decide?

Will the year be “two thousand ten” or “twenty-ten”??? For the past decade we’ve correctly sounded out the word, but last century we divided it into “nineteen-oh-nine”.
By the way is it currently “two thousand and eight”, or “two thousand eight”? I tend to stick an extra “n” sound after thousand… Not sure what everyone else does. Cast your vote today!

You must be logged in to vote:
  1. Two thousand ten
  2. Twenty ten

You know what gets me; People in the city that I live often say “two-oh-eight.” That’s totally leaving out a zero. It weirds me out. Why would people say such a thing?

Maybe a different way. We commonly do not mention the hundreds when there is no hundreds digit, but you could pronounce it two thousand, zero hundreds, and ten.

I say numbers how they are because my mom and dad and teachers scolded me about the extra “and” when I was younger. Hence, it’s the year two thousand eight not two thousand and eight.

it should be pronounced twenty-ten twenty-11… those of you pro - two thousand and eleven what are people going to be saying in 2151 - two thousand one hundred and fifty one it would be much easier to call it twenty-51. plus twenty-10 - twenty-11 sounds futuristic.

and like Conan O’Brien would say… “In theee yeeaar 2000…. everything will sound futuristic”

Not many (probably none) of us will be here in the 2100’s so that doesn’t matter.

Oh. I wouldn’t be so sure about people alive today not being around in 2100. Progress in life extension sciences is predicted to allow people to live viably into their 150s soon.

I want to say it as two thousand and ten. Two thousand ten sounds less confusing than twenty ten though.

I count seconds when I need to time something by saying, “two thousand one, two thousand two, two thousand three”. So “two thousand” is almost a second.

But, when talking about the past, and in pre-2000 years did we not just skip the prefix and say ‘84 or ‘93? Can we not now just start saying ‘11 or ‘10?
