two thousand ten

Two thousand ten.

It's different than nineteen hundred and ninety nine. Twenty-ten doesn't have enough syllables to flow properly.

I don't see where I said that nine-teen nine-ty-nine and twen-ty nine-ty-nine have a different number of syllables.

The OP asked about 2010 and I posted my opinion about 2010.

 

[mpitts]

I assumed that you were comparing saying "nineteen" vs. "two-thousand." Regardless, to be consistent with the way we have been calling every other year, it would have to be "twenty-ten." Eighteen-ten, Nineteen-ten, twenty-ten, etc.

 

[ELopes580]

Um, I would probably say Twenty-Ten. I could also refer to it as Two-Oh-Ten

 

[imported_bum]

Two thousand ten.

Do you twenty-tenners say twenty oh six, too? I usually here people saying "two thousand six"

I say twenty-oh-six in accordance with the format of every other year that I say out loud.
