What are most of you going to call this year?
Two thousand ten or twenty ten????

I saw this being debated on tv this morning and started thinking about it.
After much thought, I decided on twenty ten. It's easier to say.
Also in the last century when someone would say, for instance, nineteen hundred and ninety nine instead of nineteen ninety nine, it reminded me of how my grandparents said it...

We couldn't say twenty nine last year or people would think we were saying 29.
But twenty ten works, obviously has 4 numbers.

Without much thought, chalk me up with the twenty ten crowd. It's so much snappier than two thousand ten. What the heck I may even decide to live dangerously once in awhile and go with plain ol' ten from time to time.

I'm with you Julie! I filled in a form today and dated it 1/1/10 (not 1/1/2010). As for saying it, twenty ten is more economical and roles off the toungue.

It's plain ole Ten then. And here's hoping that's what this year is for all of us: A Perfect Ten.

I'll go with 20-10 for 2 reasons.........

1) I was saying 19-90 not 1000-900-90!
2) In 90 years I do not want to be saying 2000-100- !!

..... and that's all I'm going to say about that!!!

Just got to remember to 2010 on the checks

Hard enough

[otherbruddaDarrell]

t-2 and counting?

[debzaranti]

I agree w/the majority "twenty ten"! Much easier than the last decade having to say "twenty O-nine".

Never considered the time spent on Y2K stuff wasted. Thanks to the extreme efforts by IT and programming areas everywhere, Y2K went off without a hitch. We were the reason that they labeled it a big do nothing scare or the Y2K hoax. If we had not done our jobs there would have been a LOT of problems.

I know because I tested before and after applications and worked with numerous vendors to get their products fixed.

Anyway so as to not hijack the thread, Twenty-Ten seems to work.

20 10
