Two Thousand and Ten? 2000.10? Oops MJ....... :blink:As a numbers guy (can't help the engineer in myself), I prefer Two Thousand and Ten. However, I am o.k. with whatever anybody else calls it. I just say it my way.....lol

I've seen 2KX being used -- a mongrelization of SI engineering units and Roman numerals. Beat that!

doesnt it depend which calendar we use?
twenty ten sounds like ten past eight to me! Then again, I know I'm strange
Can't go wrong with two thousand and ten.
or alternatively, how about we give the years a name? 2010 shall now be known as Dave, would sort all the problems out wouldnt it?

This is why I like it here: Bill is a Roman. Joe is close-- twenty ten sounds good. But after two thousand years it seems right to drop a couple of decimal points and just call it two ten. But I really don't give a hoot as long as you spel it rite. Fred
