I just saw a news piece on this yesterday... since the 1900s were always called Nineteen XX, the same should follow with the 2000s... Twenty Ten for me!!

I very rarely mention the year in daily speech. My word processor sets the date on correspondence and the recipient can make that call. It's just not an issue w/ me. The numbers I'm really interested in for the coming year start with a $ by in large unless it's related to health issues. And I want those $ numbers to be much larger than 2010 however your place the decimal point or you decide to say it.

I think "twenty ten" sounds better but I don't hear many people calling it that.

Twenty-ten. People will likely call it two-thousand ten for a while until we get out of the habit of 200x being two-thousand x. I imagine it began with "the year two-thousand" -- from there we went on to two-thousand one, two-thousand two, etc., and now we wonder whether it should be twenty-ten or two-thousand ten. I don't imagine twenty oh-one would have sounded too awkward, but we were in the two-thousand habit by the first year's end.

I'm actually bouncing back and forth. I've noticed sometimes I use "twenty-ten" and sometimes I use "two thousand ten".
It's my adult ADD at it's best!

The beginning of the end seems to fit.

Well, I live in South Africa. AND the world Cup Soccer is hosted here this year. Mass media around this year has led this year to be labled twenty - ten. I would think if someone here refered to 2010 as 2thousand&10, others would laugh... 20 - 10 it is for me
