2010 - How Do You 'Say' It?

[Lee]

So i was listening to this fluff piece on the radio this morning where they were discussing the different ways to say '2010' and i was curious, how will you folks be pronouncing it next year?

It seems the most common ways are...

Twenty Ten
Two Thousand Ten
Two Thousands And Ten
Double O Ten

So which of those do you think you will be using when talking about 2010 next year?

Regards,

Lee

If I hear anyone say "Double O Ten" I will have to end of our relationship right there.

It'll be determined by the media and how they say it. Then everyone will follow them for better or worse.

twenny ten :donmike:

[Shima]

twenty ten would be what I'll use. Double o ten sounds like 00 10

[tim460]

yeah, twenny ten is it. :thumbsup:

Yes, would be "two thousand ten" in german. However, I'm sure before the year ends it will become "twenty ten" if there are enough tv stations and newspapers pushing it as a new "fashion".

English is not my native language but "Two Thousands And Ten" is how i would pronounce it

That would be OK, just leave out the "s" in "thousands," which would be grammatically correct ("two thousand and ten").

[PUMPaul]

two thousand ten is how I've been saying it the past few months.

someone said O ten a few weeks ago and laughed un til someone said that it is actually a correct expression as 20 or 2000 does end in an O

double O ten sounds stupid to me.

Twenty Ten, just like Nineteen Ten, Eighteen Ten, Eighteen Twelve Overture, Twenty O Nine, er which is almost over.
