2010

According to my abacus, the year 2010 is less than five months away. Therefore, I think it’s time for us to have a serious discussion to decide the fate of the world. A bit strong? OK, we need to come to a consensus about the proper way to say the upcoming year. The past decade has been relatively easy. We (or least I) always say Oh-8 or Oh-9. What happens next year? Should we say Twenty-Ten; Two Thousand Ten; Oh-Ten; simply 10; or is there another alternative I’m missing?

Discuss.
