I'm over the new millennium thing, so I'm going with "twenty-ten."

For the most part, I'm phonetically speaking "twenty-ten," but an occasional two-thousand and ten will pop up.

Twenty Ten. I'm sick of this whole Two Thousand and.... crap.
Nobody says "one thousand nine hundred and five" so why the hell did the "two thousand and..." last so long?
EDIT: Actually, I know the answer to my own question. I read an article about how 2001: A Space Odyssey greatly influenced how we said 2001 as "two thousand and one" rather then "twenty oh one" and I think it was pretty accurate

I'm in the twenty ten camp. Enough is enough and it's time for a change!

Twenty-ten. Just because it's always been Twenty-twelve.

Two thousand-Ten. I read Twenty-Ten as 20-10 and that doesn't look/sound right.

I'll probably say "Two-thousand-ten" just because there's really no difference between that and "Two-thousand-nine". Same number of syllables and all. But maybe when it gets up to 2011 and such will I abbreviate it to "Twenty-[Insert Number Here]".

I'm calling it 2525 just for the Hell of it. "In the year 2525!" Do you pick your son, pick your daughter too, from the bottom of a long glass tube?

I'm surprised at the overwhelming support for "Twenty ten", which to me just sounds awkward. Myself, I'll still be using "Two thousand..." until it's no longer commonplace.

2010. Why? Because it still rolls off the tongue easily.
The reason people didn't say "One thousand, nineteen ninety nine" is because it had way too many syllables and took forever to say. It doesn't take long to say "Two thousand and ten".
Also, to me, it just sounds weird and awkward saying Twenty Ten.
