Two thousand ten.

Just sounds better. By 2020 I'll start saying "twenty" since that sounds better.

if I don't feel like pronouncing the extra syllables for "transmission", I try to use the word "gearbox" instead of "tranny". Because apparently, some people think that "tranny fluid" is something you catch from a transsexual hooker.

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

Well back when it was one thousand nine hundred ninety-nine, many were terrified by the forthcoming millennium disaster, & it was a huge relief for them to get through it with only moderate carnage. So I suppose I understand why, even 10 years later, many still celebrate the second millenium by spelling it out every time: "Two Thousand Ten." The British are lucky that common parlance there requires a conjunction: "Two Thousand and Ten" ... just rolls off the tongue.
