    Two-thousand-ten?
    Twenty-ten??
    I've heard people pronounce it both ways, and we need to come to some sort of agreement on the pronunciation. I think it's wise to let the forum members of Touch Arcade make this important decision. :)
    So whaddya think?
    Personally, I like twenty-ten better.

    Twenty-Ten. Otherwise you sound like a really, really white person. "Why yes, I remember drinking tea in the year two-thousand-and-ten, it was quite good."

    Good point. (probably the only time you will ever hear me say this, kijib, so savor this moment...)
    Being from Hawaii, I can attest to the fact that there are plenty of Asian tea-drinkers! ;)

    What, now you gotta question the validity of a stereotype? Can I not make ethnic slurs without you guys getting on my back?

    Both ways, cause it doesn't make a blind bit of difference and everyone knows what you mean anyway.

    It sounds quite good in roman numerals: MMX
    - and it ties with 'twenty-ten' for fewest syllables
    - but 'this year' beats both with only 2 syllables
