A Number of Ways to Say It

January 3, 2010

A new decade is upon us and the burning question thus far is . . . what do we call this year?  Is it “two thousand ten” or “twenty ten?”  Some newscasters have posed this question on their Twitter accounts.  A WCAX reporter took to the streets for an informal poll in New England, with a clear majority voting for “twenty ten,” though many respondents said they’d probably use both options. 


In this new decade people are taking a stand
Do we pronounce the year starting with two thousand?
Though there are plenty
Who start with twenty
Clarity on this issue is in great demand
