I first seen this and thought, what a really stipid question..... I will go for 2thousand and 10 alought it was 19 ten and not 1 thousand 9 hundred and 10

It's twenty ten. Two thousand and ten is nonsense. Two thousand was only used this decade to avoid the confusion between 2009 and 29 that would've arisen by saying twenty nine.

I would instinctively have opted for 'two thousand and ten', but I guess that is counter-conventional.

"Ian Brookes, editor-in-chief of Chambers Dictionary, suggests the change will occur in 2013 (as 2012 is often referred to as "two thousand and twelve")."

The Romans have it pretty slick this year with their no-nonsense MMX.

Usage will decide and I'm betting three syllables will be way more popular than five. Anyway, this came up on the Late Late Show (am I really saying this?) and Tubridy asked President McAleese for a ruling. She decreed it's twenty ten.

[Niall Quinn]

Twenty ten it is then.

Me: Twenty and Ten = 20 and 10 = 2010

You: Two Thousand and Ten = 2000 and 10 = 200010
