A question for those who prefer "two-thousand-and-ten" - Was it "one-thousand-nine hundred and ninety-nine" eleven years ago?
Twenty-ten for me.

 I just knew that some one was going to ask that! No it was "nineteen hundred and ninety nine" for me. I still like two thousand AND ten. The other choices seem rather slap dash to me.

We've been hearing about the Olympics coming to our province in twenty-ten for so long it just seems natural now. When I was working during the last decade I used to refer to the year four, or the year six, or whatever, and get the same blank stares that others have mentioned.

Actually, yes, in many countries, for example, Spain and Mexico, it was mil novecientos noventa y nueve, or one thousand nine hundred ninety nine. Many languages do that. English allows it. And the "and" is unnecessary, I just call it two thousand ten.

It may be unnecessary but it is the custom in the UK and the Commonwealth - Spain and Mexico too, apparently 
I'm for two thousand and ten.

It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

So, Bob did you say last year, "Twenty- nine"?
