I was just thinking, you know the way we say 1999 as "nineteen-ninty-nine" etc.. when it comes to 2010 do you think it'll be calle "twenty-ten" or will people stick to "two-thousand and ten" Just a thought..

I'll probably say twenty-ten

Americans will probably say Two-thousand-ten.

Don't matter either way

Twenty ten deffo. But what about 2011? I don't think I'll say twenty eleven - it's too long but so is two thousand and eleven. I reckon we might just revert to double digits "11" for example.

Saruman · 24-02-2003 2:58pm

Maybe we could make a new system up.. and say something like tweneleven, twenthirteen and so on

Gordon · 24-02-2003 3:08pm

Ah yes ala Tolkien?

Toothten, Twelven, twerthteen, forteenty, fifteenty etc

Twenty ten automatically comes to mind...Although if I’m typing it, I might type 2k10

Big Chief · 24-02-2003 3:22pm

when i think about it two thousand and ten spurted out, so ill stick with that..

who knows what the future holds though

woosaysdan · 24-02-2003 3:58pm

two thousand and ten i wonder if they had this conversation back in 1800's?

sceptre · 24-02-2003 7:26pm

I say "two thousand and ten" but I blame Arther C Clarke for that as I say "twenty whatever" for everything else. Even "twenty sixtyone: a crappy book"

Moriarty · 24-02-2003 9:31pm

Twenty ten 'feels' like the better way to say it.

Mossy Monk · 24-02-2003 11:46pm

"two thousand and ten" was the first thing i thought of. "twenty ten" sounds kind of odd to me TBH

bug · 25-02-2003 3:03pm

There mightened be a 2010!

How's that grab ye

Then ye wont have ta think bout what your going to call it COS IT WONT EXSIST:mad:

GoneShootin · 25-02-2003 3:16pm

twenty ten

po0k · 25-02-2003 4:31pm

Why no drop the first two digits alltogether....lets face it, the quicker we get this thing embedded the more jobs our electronic engineer and IT Consultant child units will have next time round.....

Plan for the future people...

therecklessone · 25-02-2003 11:32pm

Bad Religion say twenty-ten, so that'll do me.:D

pauldeehan · 26-02-2003 10:46am

Why don't we drop the system altogether and give years names. Like 26th/11/Bob.

Twenty Ten would be my guess though.

Tusky · 26-02-2003 1:00pm

im just gonna keep saying 1999 - it wil avoid confusion

po0k · 26-02-2003 5:32pm

Then I was born in 15/Mar/Nikki
