Poll: What year is it?

[CK76]

MMX

 

[Dorian]

Twenty ten.
I understand saying two-thousand back in the 00-09 years, but come on!

I don't recall many people saying one-thousand nine-hundred nintey-nine.

This is correct! Think of any year between 1000 and 2000 and they were all said as two numbers.

1066 = ten sixty-six
1908 = nineteen oh-eight
2010 = twenty ten

 

[ScarlettRage]

Twenty ten sounds nice in my opinion.

both sound nice

 

[funguy2121]

One is more colloquial and frankly, easier to say. The other sounds like a really bad movie with pretensions of epic-ness that will be made in a couple millenia by a descendent of Roland Emmerich

 

[sanomaton]

Kaks(i)tuhattakymmenen, that's what it is and that's what it shall be. In my mind at least.

 

[Captain Schpack]

Twenty ten. It faster and more to the point.

 

[Erana]

2,010. 20-10 seems like we're trying too hard to make it sound like the futuristic society of the Jetsons.

I think this deserve a /thread

This is my graduating year.
"Twenty-ten! Twenty-Ten!" will be drilled in my brain forever, along with anyone else who is a senior in any university, or highschool for that matter. I think it sounds stupid, too, but I won't be able to stop calling it "20-10."

 

[Stabby McRunfast]

20-10. We said 19-90. 19-80 ect. The turn of the century just messed us up for the decade because it sounded weird to say 20-06 and such. We should just go back to the way we had it and say twenty ten.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I say it as two thousand ten, minus the and. Although both sayings are acceptable.

 

[historybuff]

I just say "two thousand ten"


Unless you're watching Hocus Pocus, because then it's nineteen ninety three.

 

[RanD00M]

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

 

[XJ-0461]

Two thousand and ten. Though it doesn't annoy me if people call it Twenty ten.
