    Twenty-ten. I've found the "two thousand and" form clumsy, and wax nostalgic for the grand old days of ninteen ninty-nine. I've written a short book on the subject, which is banned in Canada and parts of the US.

    Maybe if you hadn't used the title "Who stole our time? Probably those thieving Canucks and their Detroit junkie friends."

    twenty-ten!

    Twenty ten.

    "Two thousand and ten" will be abbreviated to "Two thousand ten", and those people need to be shot.

    Although an old boss of mine used to refer to "Two-oh-seven", which I used a bit. Ah, the noughties. Remember them? Seems like only yesterday they started.

    Twenty ten for me.

    Twenty zero one or twenty zero nine don't have a proper ring to them, whereas twenty ten, eleven and so on do!

    I've noticed a few people using that alright. Shocking stuff altogether.

    It's twenty-ten.

    I did the whole "two thousand and seven/eight/nine" for the noughties but twenty-ten is what rolls off the tongue for me for next year.

    Most definitely - 2010.

    FAB FACT -Scientists have revealed that if you own a digital watch - "2010" can also be interpreted as "10 minutes past 8pm".

    UCD worked overtime on that one, huh.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
