Twenty-Ten or Two-Thousand-Ten?

[Kayvin]

My radio station asked this, and it got me thinking...

A lot of people say "Two Thousand Nine", for example. And then "Twenty Ten" now that we're into double digits past the millenium.

But the thing is... if you say... 1907, it's "Nineteen Oh Seven"... so why wasn't last year "Twenty Oh Nine"? And do you think that while most people called last year "Two Thousand Nine", that a century from now, people might go back to referring to it as "Twenty Oh Nine" like we currently refer to years centuries older than our current time?

I just say '10 and let someone else figure out what century I am referring to. ROFL

it is a good question though.

I like the way twentyten sounds. It looks pretty cool too when ya write it out on paper.

Twenty Ten, or Two Thousand Ten both work for me. Although I think the reason we say 19 oh 9 is because no one wants to say One Thousand Nine Hundred and Nine

BTW, one of my private trackers has a front page poll about how to pronounce 2010. Twenty-ten is winning, but I voted for Two-thousand-ten.
