all the peope that say that it's an americanism, say your date of birth whatever it is at for example a job interview in the format two thousand and ten. In my case one thousand nine hundred and seventy eight and see if you get a funny look

Just call it two-O-one-O, and think of Tiger WOOds (although he had more than two and one f**ing Os).

Thats what I shall do, anyways.

Wierd term for the year indeed, after a few easier terms that kinda possessed an easy flow.

It's not an americanism to say 'twenty-ten'. It's an americanism to say 'two-thousand-ten' as opposed to 'two-thousand-and-ten'.

I vote for 'twenty-ten' as it's more in line with how we'd usually say the year, not including the last ten years.

Doesn't matter that much to me anyway but somehow "twenty ten" sounds clumsy compared with when we used "nineteen". Maybe it because we are not used to it yet.
