01/07/10 -- The New Year

Do you pronounce 2010 as "Two Thousand Ten" or "Twenty Ten" and why?

I say twenty-ten because I said 1999 and not One thousand one hundred and ninty-nine

"Twenty-ten"

Reason?  One less syllable and 5 less letters

I find myself saying "two thousand ten," mostly because I have spent ten years saying "two thousand, two thousand one, two thousand two, ... two thousand nine."
