This is the point when somebody should pull out a guide or webpage from a credible source on Google.

or wikipedia better yet.

Either of the first two would be acceptable.

Use the last one and people will just think you're bananas.

Nah but wikipedia is not a credible source, as it's not peer-reviewed by scholars or published by respectable universities. A credible source would be a Harvard or Oxford linguistic professor's published papers that are scrunitized by peer reviewers.

I hate the sound of "twenty ten". Just like I hate when people refer to UT2004 as "UT Twenty-oh-four". It makes you sound retarded.

As for those who say it is correct to say twenty-ten, because we say nineteen ten, eighteen ten, etc., you're missing something. With all these numbers, the word "hundred" is implied. It is natural in English to say nineteen hundred. It is not natural, and rather awkward and stupid sounding, to say twenty hundred.

Two thousand ten gets my vote.

Twenty Ten is how I first said it.

I voted two thousand ten but then I realized that was wrong. Twenty Ten sounds odd at first but it is correct. We don't say one thousand nine hundred and 93. We say 19 93. Guess I'll have to get used to it.

:thumbsup:

For poll sake--Twenty-Ten. But in reality, I'll just call it TEN. Like I do with 06', 05', 04', etc.....I think it's understood that we're in the 21st century, so just drop the 20-crap.

Both of them are technically accurate. It's more of a personal preference thing.
