“two thousand ten”

Two thousand and ten, but I’ll probably use both.

Twenty-ten – I think, though I can’t imagine then saying twenty-eleven, so may fall back on two thousand and ten.

The results show that it’s 39% in favour of both options … and that Johnny didn’t do the poll. 😉

Yes I did – just now 😉
Thought it was just a graphic, not a real one.

I said Twenty-Ten, but my friend FierceKitty has an even better one: Twenty-Femme!

I guess the most common in my maternal tongue will be corresponding to “twenty hundred and ten” In English I assume I’ll say “twenty-ten”. Two thousand and ten seems more logical though.

Hm. I currently think two thousand ten, but my actual pronunciation will depend on those around me, I suspect. If most of my friends & family use twenty ten I’ll end up doing the same.

I’m more inclined to say two thousand and ten, but it will probably depend on which usage becomes more widespread.
Spanish people have it easy as they would only ever say “dos mil diez” (two thousand ten – without the “and”) … but this is after years of saying dates in the longest way ever. For example 1999 is “mil novecientos noventa y nueve” (one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine), which is quite a mouthful.
So, I dunno. Twenty-ten is easier. Two thousand and ten sounds a bit like Spanglish. Weird that there is no “correct way” to say this. I mean, who decided to say “19 oh 1” for 1901? Then again, it was always called 19 hundred, not one thousand nine hundred. Hmmm, think I’m getting dizzy…

Just for fun “MMX” is what I used in my journal and my new cheque register today.
