    I see the light and I am cleansed. Twenty-ten, it shall be.

    Two thousand and eleven will be an awful mouthful. I think most people will make the transition to 'twenty' next year.

    Sigh

    I say 1999 'nineteen ninety nine'
    I say 2010 like 2,010

    Swedes say either or - they're roughly the same length and rolls of the tongue equally well. Tvåtusentio (literally "two thousand ten") or Tjugohundratio (literally "twenty hundred ten").

    In English, I'd probably pronounce it twenty ten.

    I've been saying 2,010, I never thought about the twenty-ten pronunciation although I've heard it pronounced that way. I'll go with the twenty-ten pronunciation from now on.

    You were saying "nineteen" for about a decade before that!

    Anyways, today's rant:
    I had a song stuck in my head this morning that I didn't know the name of, or actually anything about it other than like a short five second burst, and there's no smurfing telling what song it is, because it could be any of the 2000 dance/electronic songs I have on my laptop (THANKS STU) and now I've gone and forgotten what it sounded like, so I don't have a snowball's chance

    I hate not being able to find songs. That's probably the thing keeping me away from underground artists the most, not being able to find lyrics for them and look up their names!

    Dude, I've said this since twenty o' one. I agree with you, though.

    rubah, I use this: Bored.com - Tap the rhythm of the song's melody to find music - it only works about half the time, but that's better than nothing. I also call Mum on occasion, she's brilliant at that kind of stuff. When we lived together, Mum and I used to play the first one or two seconds of a song to each other and see if the other person could guess what song it was and we usually got it right, too.

    I usually do not recommend apple products but maybe you might want to get one of those doofangled iPhone dealies because it has that app that tells you what song is playing ^_^

    Oh come now, I couldn't have given you any more than 1,000 tracks of dance music. That's child's play.
