First off, happy February 1st. Well ain't it great that I remembered it's a new month?

 

Secondly, it's 2007. No duh. In 3 years it will be 2010. Aren't you all glad that I know my addition?

 

My point is, when it comes to 2010, will you say "twenty-ten" or "two-thousand-and-ten" (or "two-thousand-ten")?

 

On a completely unrelated note, I got to use three different punctuation marks in a row! That is, " ")? ". Which makes it five. Yay. I reached six before...

 

Anyway, yeah. That was the point. Two-thousand-ten or twenty-ten?

Open [should be single] quote, open double quote, close parenthesis, question mark, close [should be single] quote, period.

 

Yep, that's six.

 

I'll probably use "Two thousand-ten" and "twenty-ten" interchangeably. Got most of 2 years to mull it over.

, " ")? ".

Counting the comma and period, it's 7. So of course you've reached seven before. :P

 

Two-thousand-ten.

That's what I said. :P

Five different I meant. Though I suppose if I changed it to a single quote (never got the single-double system. I know that if you have a double, you should put a single in it, and vice versa, but what if you're quoting the double quote symbol? Not exactly a common instance. You still change it? Doesn't double usually come first? Or single, but I use double first.)

 

Anyway, I'm thinking twenty-ten...

 

And it's easy in Chinese. When we get to 2010 it'll still be er-ling-yi-ling nian. Never seen it as anything other than digits.

That's what I was getting at. :P

Twenty ten. Considering that's the year I graduate, I've given it a fair bit of thought. :P I've also heard "O' ten," which sorta makes sense, since there's still a zero in front of the ten.

I will definitely say twenty-ten. It sounds better, and there's less syllables to pronounce. :rolleyes:

 

Twenty-Ten - 3

Two-Thousand-Ten - 4

Two-Thousand-And-Ten - 5

 

Yup, definitely twenty-ten.

 

Besides, isn't that how it's supposed to be pronounced? I mean, we didn't call 1999 "one-thousand-nine-hundred-ninety-nine."

 

Well, maybe that's a bad example... but still. :P

Twenty-ten or One-Oh for me.

 

Oooh, in a sense I can't wait. In another sense I can and will. But then, that's the way graduation is, isn't it?
