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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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