I say it as two thousand and ten. :3

 

[Joshua822]

Also, 2010 still seems very futuristic to me.

Welcome to... THE FUTURE

One day we will celebrate the new year of 2050, and then we'll look back and laugh at how futuristic we found it

 

[Tobbe]

In 2050 I'll be 59 years old. Oh, the horror!

 

[Matyuv]

Happy New Year everyone

2009 was quite remarkable.

 

[MLII]

In 2050 I'll be 59 years old. Oh, the horror!

...You're nearly nineteen? :O

In 2050 I'll be 52. :/

 

[Hunchman801]

Happy New Year everyone!

"]In 2050 I'll be 52. :/

62 here... By the way, I hope you feel better!

 

[Tobbe]

"]

...You're nearly nineteen? :O

Yeah, I'm 18. Didn't you know?

 

[Serza5]

I'll be 56 in 2050. Oh the horror!

 

[MLII]

Thanks Hunch.

Well, I did know, but it hadn't really registered. :O

 

[Haruka]

I pronounce two thousand and ten... but I heard on Eurosport "twenty ten". It explains that both terms are valid.

 

[PluMGMK]

I say "twenty-ten". After all, 1066 is said as "ten-sixty-six".

 

[spiraldoor]

Two-thousand-and-ten. "Twenty-ten" sounds so... American. I refuse to use it.

After all, 1066 is said as "ten-sixty-six".

The pronunciation of '1066' really has nothing to do with it.

 

[El Dango]

I don't really like the sound of "twenty-ten". I go with the good old twothousandand... style.

 

[PluMGMK]

After all, 1066 is said as "ten-sixty-six".

The pronunciation of '1066' really has nothing to do with it.

It's the first century of the millennium, just like now.

 

[spiraldoor]

Just because the first century of one millennium was pronounced a certain way doesn't mean that the first century of a different millennium should also be pronounced that way.

 

[PluMGMK]

You're just afraid to embrace the new millennium.

 

[Acarr]

I'd say it's because we're all just used to saying it as "two thousand and...". In a few years time, I bet everyone will be saying it as "twenty..." without thinking.

 

[spiraldoor]

You're just afraid to embrace the new millennium.

Why would I want to "embrace" a randomly-selected period of time? That's just... gay.

You can "embrace" all the millennia you want... just count me out of it.

 

[El Dango]

Lol!

I'd say it's because we're all just used to saying it as "two thousand and...". In a few years time, I bet everyone will be saying it as "twenty..." without thinking.

I'm not sure. After 2000-2009, people are used to say it that way. I don't think it will change until 2100.

 

[Tobbe]

You're just afraid to embrace the new millennium.

Ahahaha. More stupidity leaking out of the green island. Priceless!
