Can we PLEASE agree we're all going to say "Twenty-Ten"?

[Big Dick McGee]

Let's all just agree that we're going to say "Twenty-Ten" instead of the more cumbersome "Two Thousand Ten". I mean, we didn't all say, "One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty" right? COME ON, BACK ME UP ON THIS, NO ONE IN THE MEDIA SEEMS TO AGREE!!

 

[Dr Dave]

The people will decide!

 

[jack]

I'm sticking with the 5 syllable version, thank you very much. "twenty ten" is so 1990's...

 

[Dr Dave]

I'll end up calling it whatever feels right at the time.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Shit, should have added a poll.

 

[Cassie]

I'll say 20 10 I'm sure.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I might say "two thousand and ten" occasionally, but a cool, futuristic sounding year like "2010" shouldn't be wasted.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'll say whatever I want. I managed to go the whole decade without once calling it "the noughties".

 

[The Tomtrek]

I'm calling it Twenty-Hundred and Ten.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

I guarantee you some dumbasses will call it "Oh-Ten".

 

[Gagh]

There was a piece on BBC news this morning discussing whether "Twenty Ten" or "Two Thousand and Ten" is more correct. The conclusion? They are both equally correct.

What an excellent use of my license payer's money that was.

Have you ever seen the ridiculous pieces they do on American news shows, especially the morning shows? I realize my tax dollars don't pay for it, but still it's pretty ridiculous what passes for "news" or "public interest" these days.

 

[Seph]

i will say 20 ten or twenty 10, haven't decided yet.

 

[Classic_Forever]

I'm going to say 2010. As in, I'm going to actually avoid the use of letters period and say, "2010." Not twenty-ten, not two-thousand-ten, but, actually, 2010.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

So you're going to say "Two Zero One Zero"?

 

[Archibald Nixon]

I'll say whatever I want. I managed to go the whole decade without once calling it "the noughties".

Brace yourself, 'cause in this and future decades looking back, it'll be called exactly that --or worse, the "oughts" ("aughts"?).

Because we all secretly want to be Weird Uncle Ichabod who talks about the virtues of camphor oil and can predict storms with his gitchy knee.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Nobody calls the 1900s the "aughts" so why call this decade that?. Occasionally, a really, REALLY olde person will refer to a specific year like 1906 as "aught-six". But that's because they're really old and no one cares what they think anymore.

This decade will be known as the JOHNNYNOSIES.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

100 years from now, this decade will be known as the BUSHRULEZ!!, for obvious reasons.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Or "the decade Bush set us on a course to ruin".


:smooch:

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Or, it will be known as the Golden Era of America, when we were all free and not COMMIES.
