Oh-Ten? Two-thousand and ten? Ten? What will you say when you have to say 2010 aloud?

I'm kind of obsessed with this, actually. The "correct" way to pronounce it is "Twenty-Ten." This is due to the fact that we used "Seventeen," "Eighteen" and "Nineteen" for the previous decades. Think about it, no one said "The Nineteen hundred and six" earthquake. It was the "Nineteen Oh Six" earthquake."

And since Twenty follows Nineteen, not Two Thousand, it only makes since that we stick with protocol and call this year "twenty ten."

Of course, we've already gone against protocol by calling the first ten years of this century "Two thousand and..." so it'll be a habit we have to break.

Even if people stick with "two thousand," I can pretty much guarantee that by 2101, we'll be back to using "twenty-one." After all, no one is going to call it "Twenty-one hundred and one."

Of course, none of that really matters since we're all going to die in 2012 anyway.

Also, maybe I'll just call it "Y2KX" instead.

Also, maybe I should get a life.

Yummy. Seriously. So good.
