2010 - how do you pronounce it?
I remember we had a similar thread somewhere about 2046 - when next year (new decade) begins, how do you pronounce it? Two thousand and ten or Twenty Ten or something?

How do you care? 
p.s - Thousand and Ten or Twenty Ten. I doubt I'd pronounce it how the yanks do, even if grammatically it makes more sense.

Re: 2010 - how do you pronounce it?
Sometimes I am
But because its the end of the year/decade etc I kept hearing stuff on radio/TV etc with some saying "It isnt the end of the decade" (er yes it is).

Re: 2010 - how do you pronounce it?
Huh? The 00's IS the decade. By your logic, the 80's didn't end until 1990 
The 00's started in 2000 and end on 31/12/2009, simples

Looks like 10 years to me. Decades start in the year zeros, the 1970's etc.
And yes I do remember when people said 2000 wasnt the proper millenium as there wasnt a year 0.

Re: 2010 - how do you pronounce it?
Of course Grim is right. 2010 is the start of a new decade. How can 2011 be the start of a decade? And you reckon I'm clueless Romero.

Just 'Oh Ten'. I assume the other people already know about the 2000 part.
