Are we in "two thousand ten" or "twenty ten"?
What year are we in?
What year are we in?

EDIT: no, just googled it. Of course someone else used it already.

I'm with you there, although I sustain no illusions about actually being able to change anyone's mind.brewnog said:I can't believe it took a whole page of cobblers before this sense came out. Good man. Two thousand and ten it is.

Good one. I can't believe it's been 22 years since the Centenial Celebration, or M2C2, at Case Western.jtbell said:I changed my mind... I'm going to call this year "Michelson-Morley Experiment." (MMX)

The current year is 2021.
We are currently in the year 2021, so we are in the decade of the 2020s.
Both "two thousand ten" and "twenty ten" are acceptable ways to say the year 2010. However, "twenty ten" is more commonly used.
This is purely a matter of preference and style. Some people prefer to say "twenty ten" because it is shorter and easier to say. Others may prefer to say "two thousand ten" because it follows the same pattern as previous years (e.g. "nineteen ninety-nine").
It is possible that as we move further into the 21st century, we may start saying "two thousand" instead of "twenty" for the years. However, it ultimately depends on personal preference and cultural norms.
