What sounds better to you

[jded]

New year and all. Start of a new decade.
I've heard of three ways to refer to our new year. So how do you like to say it, two thousand ten, 2K10, or twenty ten? What sounds better? 2K10 and twenty ten are the shortest, yet I find myself saying two thousand ten and can't seem to say it any other way.

[blind2d]

I like 20/10, 'cause it's like, y'know, vision... and stuff.

My vision is 20/20 :p

I prefer to say Madden-OH-Ten Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby! (Not really. Not ever...:evil:)

[rongravy]

I prefer the two other than 2K10. If I caught myself actually saying that, I'd have to kick my own ass.

[blind2d]

Kicking your own ass is fun! Especially whilst running.

Ha, I'm not that coordinated. I could fail a sobriety test cold sober.

[blind2d]

Nobody's perfect.

[MaximusIncredulous]

Twenty ten.

Rolls out easy which is good for lazy people like myself.

Agreed.

I say "twenty-ten." It's not like I say "nineteen hundred and ten" or "one thousand, nine hundred and ten" for 1910.

[krakenslayer]

Twenty-ten. most definitely. In fact, even last decade I was surprised people weren't using twenty-oh-nine, etc. cos that's how it's always been: nineteen-sixty eight, nineteen-seventy eight, nineteen-eighty five, nineteen-ninety nine... and so forth.

People didn't call 1910: one-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ten. I think we should go back to the established norm of first and last two digits combined. I don't see why that should change just because it's the future now. :D

[EvilNed]

The future!!! I love how we're living in the future now, by the way.

I know, it's awesome, but I can't help feeling a little let down. No hoverboards yet and it's getting dangerously close to 2015...

[EvilNed]

Have faith! Still, five more years. They also have to release a shitload of Jaws films until that time.

Haha! Yeah. If only they'd known about Saw back in 1989, they'd have been nearer the truth. ;)

The future!!! I love how we're living in the future now, by the way.

We aren't living in the future, the future is tomorrow, and when tomorrow gets here it will be today and that will be the present and the futute will be the next day. We are however living in the future of the people in the past, and we were in the past, and today was our future, but now it is our now, and the future is our tomorrow, and . . . . . as you read this, this now becomes your past. (but my future, because as I write this, you haven't read it yet. but as you read this, you can know that I have written part of your past.)




it's a bad idea to be drunk at 7 am.


Oh and to me. . . "Two thousand and nine" Sounds better, because I hate getting used to writing a new date at work.

[mista_mo]

How about '2010'?


Anyone? Hello? Am I alone in here? Awesome, time to pull off the pants and scibbies and play some naked chess against a mirror.

[JDFP]

2010? What the bloody hell man?

It's still perpetually the 1970's brother, some of us aren't ever going beyond that decade...

The 70s was an age filled with ignorant savages with an odd taste in clothing.

[blind2d]

Nah, I'm stuck in 1990.

[Danny]

2010, on account of it bieng 2010, like 100 years ago it was 1910, 100 before that 1810 and so on. why do people have trouble with this?, did the designation of century followed by decade get thrown out the window this year or something?

if theres a bunch of crap based on the year "twenty-twelve" subtract 2 and what do you get?


bonus crayons to take home for the classmate how guesses correctly.

and if theres a k in your answer your mother and i will be very disappointed in you.

You get two years before the Apocalypse. Thanks, I'll be taking my Crayons now. The green ones are pretty tasty.

[blind2d]

Pastels are in, crayons are gauche.

And frizzy perms on doods... My eyes still water thinking about it.

Agreed.

I say "twenty-ten." It's not like I say "nineteen hundred and ten" or "one thousand, nine hundred and ten" for 1910.
Or In the year of our Lord...

Only if you gotta be at work that morning...
Otherwise go for it!
I prefer a nice wake and bake.

It's only bad if you start drinking at 7 am. If you're still drunk from the night before at 7 am, that's fine.

[SRP76]

Two Thousand Ten.

"Twenty Ten" just sounds stupid.
