Just a few weeks away. What do you call it? Is it Two thousand and ten, or is it Twenty ten? Calling this year Twenty Nine, sounds a bit weird so I think most people have avoided it. Will 'we' changed to Twenty XX or will we stick with Two Thousand and XX?
Place your bets ladies and gentlemen.

Some will say twenty-ten+, but I'll guess that +two-thousand-ten will predominate.

Twenty ten seems to be the first choice around here.

By the time we get to 2066 I imagine we'll all be saying twenty sixty six, just as we say ten sixty six. But I think I would say one thousand ten for 1010, not ten ten, and I think I'll say two thousand ten for next year.

I thought twenty ten would be more popular; With all these international sports events coming, football (soccer for some ;) WC in 2010, Olympics in London 2012, and Rio which recently clinched the hosting of 2016....

How do those explain that "twenty ten" would be more popular?

Hola shilgia! (check mail btw) maybe he means in graphics? it is "simpler" in graphics?
It is impressive we used to think 2010 would be a year of a "distant future" with robots, pills for food, and fast time travel...ha!

#7, it's easier and quicker to pronounce, with less syllables. It sounds more 'catchy', to me anyway.
