A scientific survey.

[Cope]

But now, shall we say in the tens like when people talked about the 1940s as the fourties?

I'm already calling this decade "the Tennies".

Later on we might call this decade the teens. For now, we're just pre-teens.

oh god, I can't wait until we start getting acne.

[VinnieD]

Twenty Ten all the way. More futuristic. Hopefully it'll inspire scientists to get back to work on that Mars mission and flying cars.

[Toxic]

I'm in the two thousand ten boat at the moment, but I predict migrating to the twenty ten side just because it sounds so concise.

Not to be a stickler but if I remember correctly from math class "and" is only used with fractions, so "two thousand and ten" is incorrect...

[Cope]

As if I could remember or care about anything I was taught in maths class.

Actually, I'd have added "two-thousand ten" as an option if I'd known so many people would choose it.

You're almost correct, it's used if there's a whole number and a fraction, i.e. 2 3/4 is "two and three-quarters." It's also used for decimals in cash amounts, which is where most people misuse it, like when writing checks. $234 is "two hundred thirty four dollars" but $234.56 is "two hundred thirty four dollars and fifty-six cents."

I vote twenty ten because it is less syllables and I am lazy.

[Cat42]

I say "Two thousand and nine" because I keep forgetting the year just changed.

[McDuffies]

Imagine how easy it was living in, say, 0075.

[Zombie Kawakami]

i've been saying "twenty ten" just like i was saying "nineteen ninety" except those last nine years when i was saying dates along the lines of "twenty aught nine"

[Rkolter]

I voted for neither because I call it either "twenty-ten" if I'm just being lazy, or by it's proper name, "Two thousand ten", if I'm being specific.

[Bustertheclown]

I call it Deuce Ought One Ohhhhhh-yeah!

[Tintzone]

"twenty-ten" and "two thousand and ten" for me.

though sometimes, I do say "oh-ten"
...
so yessss....
very scientific...

[Rkolter]

Take your age.
Multiply by 10.
subtract 100.
Add the year of the first atomic blast at the Trinity site.
divide by 5
Add the year Jeremiah Horrocks died.
Subtract double your age.

... 2010!

[Laemkral]

I'm calling it "o' ten". Because it still works. I feel sorry for those saps in the 2100s, they'll REALLY have to think it over.

That sounds pretty complicated but I'm sure its legit.

twenty one hundred.

twenty one oh one.

One ten.
