Twenty ten. We would ponounce 1980 as nineteen eighty and not as one thousand nine hundred and eighty.

To all you people who keep bringing that up: How did you pronounce the year 2000?

Efan said:

yes, and I wonder how they pronounced 1009? an busend noenig nigon (year of our lord, of course)?

NDRU said:

Of course.

Efan said:

Well like everything there is always exceptions to the rule. That just applies to a year ending with 00. Hope that clears thing up with you.

Twenty-ten

kpowers said:

How did you pronounce 2001?

NDRU said:

Easy Twenty zero one (I never say the letter "o" since it's not a number)

NDRU said:

ten zero nine

Efan said:

I always said two oh oh oh or two triple oh

ZombieKitten said:

you just love to say "oh, oh, oh!"

kpowers said:

You called it "Easy Twenty Zero One?"

NDRU said:

!!!

NDRU said:

oh your a funny one

That's only because this last decade no one wanted to say Twenty-"oh"-digit for the year, but now that we are in the teens, we can start doing that.

It's gonna be about 3 years until we are in the teens.

The little old lady who reads the church notices every Sunday says: "Two-oh-oh-nine". It drives me crazy every Sunday!

(She also says "Expired" when someone has died! )

yaoming doe

that's actually what you call the decade, the "teens"

I think everyone is going to say two thousand and ten when they're not really thinking. If someone said something to me about twenty ten it'd take me a while to realise that they mean the year. No ones used to it. Unless the media starts pushing it but I think in normal life it will be what we've been doing since 2000.

2010

Waving hi at 1980. It's been that long already. 30 years.

Ever since the 2000s began, whenever I made a CD, DVD, videotape, pictures, etc., I always label them with the full year such as 1984 or 2006 rather than just putting 84 or 06 on the item.

I guess I'm that way because my grandmother, who was born in 1913 (she's been dead since 1999) used to have old pictures where she had written 56 or 67 on the back of them as the year they were taken. My grandfather graduated in the 1920s and his old annual simply has 23 on it. Since we're so close to 2013, I just imagine if I were a stranger years into the future and found a picture of my grandmother when she was born and it simply had 13 on the back of it. Anybody in this lifetime would know by the condition of the picture that it was 1913 instead of 2013 but I'm thinking ahead to the 2100s. I know I'll be dead and it won't matter but it just makes me realize how short a century really is and I'm such a perfectionist that I want anyone in the future that may find some of my items to know exactly when they were in existence.

I've settled on saying MMX... cuz I like togas!
