    How do you pronounce this year?

    I'm just curious how we pronounce the name of this year in which we are currently living, since the most recent years were prounounced in the "two-thousand, blank" method, but before that we used the "nineteen, blank" method...

    scholars have sugguested that our pronounciation of it may change this year, and thus I ask how many of us use each method...


    I voted, "Other" because I'm also actually unsure how I pronounce it myself, but perhaps one day I'll catch myself using it off-hand... also other because I didn't want to skew my semi-social-scientific results :P

    Twenty-Ten. It's the easiest, and most widely used as far as I can tell.

        It's the future, dammit! Twenty ten! =D
        "For here, apart, dwells one whose hands have wrought/ Strange eidola that chill the world with fear:
        Whose graven runes in tomes of dread have taught/ What things beyond the star gulfs lurk and leer.
        Dark Lord of Averoigne- whose windows stare/ On pits of dream no other gaze could bare!"

        -H.P. Lovecraft

          Yeah, but your crazy land also says stuff like "It's half to three" instead of "Half Past Two"..

          I think that's proof enough that your country can't be trusted with numbers.

                This from someone who lives in a land that insists that the left side is the right side, and whose measurements involve body parts....

                            Nineteen- ... for the 20th century, Eighteen-Hundred-And-... for the 19th century (and similar for times longer past). Now everyone uses Two-Thousand-And- ... here.

                              Two-oh ten. Because it gets people's attention.
