How do YOU say 2010? If you say "two thousand ten" you're wrong, (you ignorant sluts/assholes).
When it was 1999, did you say "one thousand nine hundred ninety-nine"?
People are fucking this up all over the place. So, if you generally want to piss someone off, ask them how they say "2010" and then tell them they're grammatical idiots when they fuck it up.
Truth is, there's some debate about it although "twenty-ten" is the clear, grammatical winner. So, fuck with someone you love.
I don't know anyone who DOESN'T say twenty-ten, so I guess...
"In Eighteen Fourteen we took a little trip... along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty mississip..."

Where do you live? Or where the hell do I live? I polled a bunch of people last night (in between jello shots) and most of them said "two thousand ten".
I live in Michigan.
And technically two thousand ten is the proper way to say the number. But when speaking of years I've always heard it broken in a 2 digit-2 digit manner.
14 92
18 14
20 10
19 81

It has something to do with cardinal numbers but I've hit a wall (for tonight). But I agree, 1492 would generally be expressed as "fourteen ninety-two" not "one thousand four hundred ninety-two". It makes sense....language tends to favor the abbreviated version.
We just spent the last ten years saying 'two thousand' whatever, so it's probably going to take some time before we all convert to your proper way of saying it.

Yep, by me with an attached poll.
Paying attention and general awareness are obviously not among usernames skills and abilities.

Orrrrrrrr, it could be that I just don't give a shit about old posts that occurred prior to my arrival. Kinda of like B.C. and A.D. Let's consider my arrival here along the lines of the birth of Christ--B.U. and A.U.
I keel me.

That would be the dumbed down version and the one expected from a pot head

My thread started AFTER you showed up here you absolute cretin.
Try paying more attention in future so you don't end up looking even more like a witless soup chicken.

Lets hope TWENTY TEN brings you everything you deserve, venereal disease caused by your penchant for rent boys and blindness caused by your proclivity for masturbating yourself ragged at ladyboys.com.

Good for you, fatty. I will be saying it "two thousand ten" now so I don't sound like a dumb guido.
