Hey all,
Well all are correct, but
after 2009 we start to say twenty ten. |

Thank you, Linda!  Really a very interesting view.
I �m teaching my students �twenty-ten � and I didn �t even suppose that another way to say the year 2010 was also commonly used. |

OOps, I just today found myself saying we usually group years two by two but that in the case of 2010 it is soooo ugly to say �twenty ten � that I prefer �two thousand and ten �
Anyway did any of you notice "the grammar police never sleep" which brings us again back to the issue if �the police � is singular or plural.............. |

I �m English. I say two thousand and ten.
However I remember when I was in England for Christmas there were articles in the press discussing the issue as no-one seemed to know what would happen in the New Year.
But I do remember Hilary Clinton saying twenty-ten. Doesn �t really matter I think.

"The "20" should have been pronounced "twenty" all along, he said, pointing out that every year in the 20th century was pronounced "nineteen something.""
No, this isn �t correct at all, or else everyone would have said "twenty one" for 2001, which wouldn �t have made any sense. "Twenty-oh-one" would�ve been just as confusing.
People have been doing it right. Only now do we have the option to use the two double-digit numerals without causing confusion. |
