We're only a few months away from 2010. Will people say "2000 and 10" or "20-10"?

Twenty-ten, informally, two-thousand-ten formally.

13 4826 0948 82695 25847. Yes.

Can't we just say "A Space Odyssey"?

00110010001100000011000100110000

2010 - a sex odyssey.

I'm going to say '010... (Prounounced "Oh-Ten")

if it was 1960 we would say twenty ten, but i think most people are going to be saying two thousand ten.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity, though.

People thought the millennium ended on 12/31/1999 because they either forgot that there was no year "zero" or they just don't understand how many years are in a thousand years.

Two thousand and ten sounds about right for all the dimwitted morons I encounter on any given day.

At least in this case, they just sound stupid, but I don't know that there are any rules they're breaking, other than if they were writing a check or something, and wrote it out for "four hundred and twenty dollars and 50 cents" which would obviously be breaking every rule of logic and banking and math.

"Oh, well, that's interesting, because, since everyone knows that there's no year zero, the millennium doesn't really begin until 2001, which would make your party one year late, and thus, quite lame."

But the Newmallinnium really was one year late.

That's a good point. Because now I say "oh nine", can I just say "yeah I bought that house in ten"??

No no... that won't do at all. If you want to just say "ten" then you have to refer to this year as "nine" for the rest of the year.

If you say "oh nine", you HAVE to say "oh ten"...

Alright, I'll start saying "oh ten."
but, if saying "ten" catches on, I want credit!

English lesson; In orating numbers, only use the word "and" in place of a decimal point.

2010 two thousand ten, not two thousand and 10

Nope, if you say "Oh Nine", you can very well just say "Ten". You could also say "One Oh". You'd only have to say "Oh Ten" if you said "Oh Oh Nine".

People will say "twenty ten" for 2010, and we will retroactively change things like "two-thousand and five" to "twenty oh five".

Think about it...no one says "nineteen-hundred and seven"; we say "nineteen oh seven".

You can very well call it fish sticks.

You can call it
((7!)/2)-510

What you called it last year means dick,... dick
