Poll: Twenty-Ten or Two Thousand and Ten?

[Tom the Feeble]

does it really make a difference how we pronounce it. everyone knows wat we r saying anyway.

 

[mr.aravaro]

its twenty ten we didn't call 1910 one thousand nine hundred ten

 

[Florion]

Five syllables versus three. Easy win for Twenty-ten. (I wish I had an accent so that would rhyme.)

Edit in case someone jumps me for it: Yes, I know I have an accent like everyone else; I mean, an accent in which "win" is pronounced like "when..."

its twenty ten we didn't call 1910 one thousand nine hundred ten

But we did say "Two-thousand and eight." Now that the prefix is "Two thousand" instead of "One thousand nine hundred," it's more plausible to begin with "Two thousand."

Two Thousand and Ten, because that's what we call it in my own language - we don't do that crazy 'Twenty-X' stuff.

 

[Ironwampa]

Two thousand and ten is improper English.

 

[Wadders]

I just say "two thousand ten" It's quicker that way.

Why, MMX of course.

<3 Roman Numerals. They're the best

I think I'll actually wind up saying "oh-ten" like I've been saying "oh-nine" all year. Too lazy to change, even if it doesn't make sense.

 

[Spiner909]

Twenty ten just sounds like stupid slang.

 

[Jiggabyte]

Twenty-ten, to sound futuristic.
I never liked the whole "two-thousand-and" thing. Only the first decade of each millenium seems to inherit that, and its weird to me.

Former = US. Latter=UK.

 

[RanD00M]

Two thousand and ten.I have a hard time saying twenty-ten.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Twenty hundred and ten.
Just to be difficult.

this is made of absolute and epic win!

 

[I38VWI]

Two thousand and ten is improper English.

Yup. That and "Twenty-Ten" is shorter syllabically and flows easier for me.

 

[Radelaide]

Twenty hundred and ten.
Just to be difficult.

I may just join you on that *nods*

 

[Normalgamer]

Two thousand ten.

 

[Thelogman]

Twenty-Ten sounds better, it's easier to say, and it makes me think I live in the future!

 

[Kajt]

Zweitausend und zehn!

...German?
I took Spanish, and it's not Spanish.

EDIT: And, yes, I do know you're Swedish

Ja, das ist Deutsch.

[small]I think I spelled that right?[/small]

Since we don't say "one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine" for 1999, I'd say it would be "twenty ten".
