It's 2010-- but how do you say it?

[Alcott]

How do/will you pronounce what year it is?

 

[David Michael Harris]

2 thousand and 10, but I am an old fashioned guy.

 

[NaasPreacher (C4K)]

Two thousand and ten would actually be 2000.10. the 'and' in a number normally signifies the decimal point.

Two thousand ten for me.

Then "four and twenty blackbirds" meant 4.20 blackbirds?

This is not worth a fight, but I was referring to modern English. I also used the word 'normally.'

To each his own, I suppose.

Can we put voice/sound files on here,

 

[SaggyWoman]

I say twenty ten but people look at me funny around here.

Anyone else remember the boondoggle of a "fire prevention" PSA that was wholly dedicated to convincing people to say "Smokey Bear" not "Smokey the Bear"?

I say two thousand ten but at least you are consistent with the way we all said the years in the 1900's.

But "The" is is middle name - as was his fathers :smilewinkgrin:
