We had 10 years of having to say the long version of the year; so twenty-ten for me.

I'm making a point of not worry about crap like this more (I call it the Nickleback corollary). In the past I would have been vehemently pro-two thousand (and) ten on principle. Now I wonder was sort of value having principles added to my life.

We didn't call it one thousand nine hundred ninety nine in 1999, so twenty-ten works for me.

The olympics already decided for us years ago when they one the bid. The media has been calling them the twenty-ten olympics for years. It isn't even up for discussion anymore.

I'm looking forward to the day where we can drop the first two digits again. Seems like that probably won't happen till the 20's.

That will be weird. When I hear 20's I still think about flappers, Gatsby and the Jazz Age.
