2010

What do we call this year?

BowWowMeow · 01-01-2010, 12:00 PM

What about just plain Ten?

Barb E · 01-01-2010, 12:22 PM

Didn't even think of Ten, but you're right I should have added it.

I don't say 1960 when someone asks me what year I was born, I say 60.

I'll probably say twentyten BUT I'm hoping, however it is referred to, that it is better than last year.

I like how 20-10 sounds.. I'll probably use that phrase.

Barb E · 01-02-2010, 01:38 PM

So the vote at the dogpark this morning was Twenty Ten

A point was made that we usually don't use just the last two digits until a year has passed.

During the last century I always said nineteen blah blah when saying the entire year. So twenty blah blah just seems more natural to me than saying two-thousand blah blah.

Fodder · 01-02-2010, 02:30 PM

i never thought of this until someone brought it up on NYE... naturally, i'd been saying 'two thousand ten'.

now that i'm actually thinking about it "o ten" doesn't hurt

There was an article in the S.F. Chronicle on this yesterday.

'Twenty ten' or 'two thousand ten'?

aubie · 01-02-2010, 07:14 PM

I go for whatever is faster...20-10 is quicker to say than two-thousand and ten.
