yes because people called 2001 a Space Odyssey twenty oh one a Space Odyssey. I also think when referring to the sequel people also called it two thousand ten because it fit with the first one.
[QUOTE=fear me;19415946]Actually, people who say twenty-ten and the like make me cringe.[/QUOTE]
I cringe when people say "Two thousand ten" without the 'and'. I'm fine with both other ways though.
Also I don't want to get into that argument on the last page about this, it's just a dialect it's as stupid as arguing over color vs colour.

Wrong decade, nobody's saying it was wrong to say Two Thousand and X last decade, but now it should be Twenty X. People claiming it's different for the first century are talking bollocks, Ten Oh Three. (1003), nobody calls it "One thousand and three", it's just that at the start of the last decade people weregoing over the top with the fact that it was a new millennium and it just caught on. Ten years later it's begun to sound silly.
Century of Millennium - Years into Century (E.G. 1363 Thirteen - Sixty Three), not Millennium - Years into Millennium (E.G. 2016 Two thousand - and Sixteen (Or even no "and" if you're simple in the head).
Gentlemen please, i'm pretty sure we're calling 2010 and the following decade "The Tentacles". I'll have no more discussion about this.
Thread dismissed.
It's two-thousand-[b]and[/b]-nine, you heathens.
Who gives a shit about what is grammatically correct or not.
TwentyTen is quicker and more pleasant to say. It also sounds like the future, which is awesome.
You what I really hate? The last decade has been designated the 'naughties' [b]ugh[/b].
Twenty Ten, is more future, and follows on from everything else, we never said One Thousand, Nine Hundred and eighteen.
Even though I dunno what the heck were gonna call the decade... The Teenies?
Twenty - oh - ten :downs:
I call it "Two-Hundred and 1, Hundred" , like "Seventeen Hundred" means 1700
I call it "the year Two Thousand and Ten of the Common Era" because I'm a prick who thinks that being grammatically correct means everything.
Twenty-Ten is futuristic and better.
Class of "one oh"

Do you say ten o nine for the year 1009?
No, the teen is what makes it finetic.
Oh for crying out loud it's a fucking number! Who cares how it is pronounced?! This is an example of people who really just should shut the fuck up.
[QUOTE=Confused111;19436883]December 35, 2009[/QUOTE]
Or then again you have December 3685, 1999.
If we had "nineteen sixty four" Then it'd be "two thousand ten".
They deserve to be shot, those retarded bastards.

I had no clue what "[url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Finetic]finetic[/url]" meant, so I looked it up.
Big god damn surprise there.
And besides, did anyone ever say "twenty oh nine" for 2009?
[QUOTE=Penguin-Man;19436008]Class of "one oh"[/QUOTE]
Nah, its the class of 'Oh You'
What happened to the 'and' in 'two thousand AND ten'? I say twenty-ten, simple to say and less syllables.
Two thousand ten? That is 20 000...
I've changed my mind and it is now Two Thousand AND ten. Just to point out the fact Americans got english wrong again.

"And" translates into a decimal point.

Math > Grammar.
So therefore 'two thousand ten' > 'twenty ten'
Shove it up your ass NAGG.
[QUOTE=shakey42;19446063]Holy fucking shit people read the thread.[/QUOTE]
Yeah and it's ridiculous you don't say and twice.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;19446150]Yeah and it's ridiculous you don't say and twice.[/QUOTE]
Were it a fraction i would. One hundred and thirty five and one half.
Were it a decimal i wouldn't. One hundred and thirty five point five

I have two and four apples. Would you say that's six apples or 2.4 apples?
You can say 'two thousand ten' if you want but I just don't see how 'and' means a decimal point :/
I said twenty ten from the start.
