Rant of the Day

Dammit people, it's been ten years. You have to start saying "twenty" instead of "two-thousand" It's official now. No excuses. Twenty-ten. Twenty-eleven. Twenty-twelve. Practice with me.

Tune in tomorrow!

This is why girls can't be engineers.

But I like saying two-thousand ten.

Wait, what? Why?

Two zero one zero

I'm with Allie. "Two thousand" has too many syllables.

You sound just like Huxley right now. He rants about the same thing. XD

I just say Two Thousand Ten out of habit. Twenty-Ten does sound nicer though.

You've opened my eyes to the inconsistency, from now on I shall refer to years before the millenia as one thousand and etc

Twenty is just laziness. The number itself IS two thousand (and) ten

I say 20, so you're not alone, rubah.

I think the problem might be derived from numbers usage itself. Frequently numbers between 1000 and 2000 get used that way in just everyday life. Fifteen hundred boxes of tampons. But nobody says twenty hundred balloons

I do sometimes say the year is twenty ten, but more frequently I use that when referencing future dates. I think that means my mind is being controlled by my future self. Apparently in 2015 I have conformed

Edit: On that note, I don't find it odd to say twenty-one hundred. Just something about twenty itself sometimes. So I don't think the next century will have this problem, if that helps

I love two-thousand and ten. Such a great year.

In the back of the car,
on the way to the bar,
I've got you on my lips (I've got you on my lips)
At the foot of the stairs, with my fingers in your hair,
baby, this is it.

She won't ever get enough
once she gets a little touch
if i had it my way,
you know that I'd make her say
"oo-oooo-oo-oo-oooh~
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh~"

Um

These are not the droids you are looking for?

traditionally, the french have said "one thousand, ninehundred XX', but in recent decades, they have taken over the english usage of "nineteen xx"

Hanks Fine Furniture has been persistent in maintaining the "twenty-xx" method as of many years ago (and it bugged the crap out of me then xD)
