Twenty-Ten. My time is valuable. Ish. Well, not really. But I am pretty lazy. 6 hours and 9 minutes left for me!

Twenty ten because it takes me back to the long ago days of my childhood where everything was nineteen this and nineteen that! This past decade has been so painful what with having to pronounce the whole number like you're counting or something, what kind of madcap world is that??




edited because I wrote "2010" at the beginning which contrary to my own logic actually doesn't denote which option I chose. :shifty:

I say two thousand ten because it's more similar to how we say it in serbian.

I am lazy and say "two-ten" even though that doesn't describe the number properly.

I say two thousand and ten because I do this thing with my voice without knowing it leaving me to repeat alot of things so I try not to shorten words for clarity.

Yeah I talk worse than I type if you think that's possible.

I say neither, I say : deux mille dix...ok.. it could be roughtly translated as two thousand ten.. But now, shall we say in the tens like when people talked about the 1940s as the fourties?

Actually I say "two thousand ten", which was not an option.

It's not as cool as "the Noughties", though.

We've been saying both, as the mood strikes us.

"Twenty-ten" sounds so terribly futuristic. :o :o

Anyone remember that tv show, "Beyond 2000"?

I'm sure we'll all get jaded to its futuristic connotations soon enough, just like we did with the year two-thousand.

I say Two thousand and ten when I'm talking normally, but Twenty-Ten when I want to sound like it's the distant FUTURE! Where we have jet packs, and rocket bases on the MOOOOOOOON!

... So really I'll probably be saying 'Twenty-ten' a lot.

I call this year Bob. We've known each other for a while, so first name basis isn't a big deal. We're tight, yo.

Later on we might call this decade the teens. For now, we're just pre-teens.

Huh, see for me its the inverse of that, two thousand ten for jetpacks and all that, and twenty ten when talking normally, in the same way my mum calls me Robby, but when shit gets serious, I'm Roberto.
