2010 - Two thousand and ten or Twenty ten?

[Fido]

I heard it described both ways on the BBC this morning. What's it to be?

I prefer twenty ten.

 

[Boab]

I always associate twenty ten with Celtic Manor,I don't know how I will say it yet.

 

[Blyth Spirit]

Oh I think it ought to be twenty ten.

We didn't say one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine did we?

 

[Smell The Glove]

Put me in the twenty ten camp. As the years go by that's the format I'm sure we will settle on.

 

[Fido]

I do like to discuss matters of consequence!

 

[Arrowhead]

I prefer two thousand and ten for some daft reason, but for conciseness and by analogy to 1910, twenty ten is what we'll all wind up saying, I'm sure.

 

[IanM]

Nobody said two-hundred and nine for 2009, so I don't see why twenty-ten should be used for 2010.

Let's be honest, both will do, and who really cares?

Zager and Evans were way ahead of us:

[Rousey]

I guess twenty ten is what it will be but as Ian said did anyone say two-hundred and nine or even twenty oh nine?

Cheers, Rousey

There once was an artist called Prince
On the stage he would posture & mince
Just for a giggle
He turned his name to a squiggle
And nobody's heard of him since.

Rush answered it for us in 1976 with their iconic prog rock concept album Two Thousand One Hundred and Twelve.

Rush answered it for us in 1976 with their iconic prog rock concept album Two Thousand One Hundred and Twelve.

As it's an album surely it's seminal or classic rather than iconic?

Of course, actually it's bollocks. Ah, prog rock: neither progressive nor rock.

A friend of mine is a big Rush fan. He even (might still do) played in a Rush tribute band. He was really, really pissed off when his daughter was born at 21:14.
