what has happened is that people have gotten so used to saying two thousand that they cant stop saying it now for each new year.. however have noticed that twenty twelve has been said quite a bit by so far on the tele so wondering whether finally we've finally made the change!
@tricountywright Its how the english language is spoken. In 100 years our great grand children, who don't remember the hype of the year "two thousand", will be reading their history text books and pronouncing it twenty oh nine.
There is no correct way. People used to say nineteen hundred and ten or nineteen ten.
If you say "the second world war started in nineteen forty one" or "the second world war started in nineteen hundred and forty one", both are correct.
I'd prefer people say 20 10 as well, though the years have been said differently thoughout history all the time.
Remember when Columbus sailed the ocean blue? 14 hundred and 92.
How would you say the year 1900? 19 hundred, not 19 00.
The 2000's we switched from the 1900's way of saying the year. Now we're asking everyone to switch back. Why is anyone surprised if people are confused.

I think by next year people will say twenty eleven because it definitely sounds a lot better than two thousand eleven

@bxwilkos08 you bet they will ! And a few more years after that they will look back and say "twenty-oh-nine" just like they say "nineteen-oh-nine"

I say twenty ten myself, but what does it matter what other people say? Two thousand ten is still a normal way to say it.
