In a story on Sunday at WeatherWatch.co.nz we showed a great photo of the Sky City fireworks display as 2010 started. See the photo here.
A couple of comments were posted below the photo about how to say "2010". So...we thought we'd ask you how you plan on saying it.
Is it "Twenty ten" or "2000 and ten"?

I always say to people who
I always say to people who says 2000 and 10 when was the battle of hastings
2010
Im gonna stik with 20-10 as it sound cool and new like the decade, also because of the movie 20-12 (2012) it makes it alot easier getting the hang of saying it like that. But yeah everyones different, i just askd my mum wat shed prefer she said 2000 and ten, and my dad thinks 20-10 sounds better.
I agree with those who say
I agree with those who say that if 1985 was said "nineteen eighty-five" then 2010 should be "twenty-ten". For some reason, celebrity Tweeters have been calling it "aught-ten." Can't get my mind around that one at all.
2010
in the 20 century it was known as nineteen hundred and five for example...but by tthe teens it was nineteen forteen ..and so it was for the rest of last century...an the same will happen now...2010 and 2011 will be transitional years....by 2013...it will be twenty thirteen :)
2010
We have been saying 2000 and 1,2000 and 5 since the start of the century,so dond see why it will be any different now.
Some people said
Some people said twenty-0-nine.no one said one thousand nine hundred and ten (1910).It was ninteen ten or even 1900 and ten.
I'll be saying Twenty Ten,
I'll be saying Twenty Ten, it's faster, even though it's not grammatically correct.
Twenty Ten
Twenty Ten is smartest, and it is grammatically correct! We said nineteen-ten, and we can say twenty-ten and twentyone-ten. That is the traditional way of naming years.
2010
I cant see me saying twenty 10 lol!! It wasnt twenty 9 so it wont be twenty 10. I will say two thousand and ten.
20-10 comments
So are we all saying then that for the cricket lovers, in 2020, this will be called 20-20? or two thousand & twenty?
i don't know, people mentioning to me 20-20, i would respond about the latest game and wouldn't realize they are actually talking about the year?!
