Hello! Happy New Year! 2010 just came, but have ever think of how should we pronounce 2010 in English? It may makes you confuse or makes you interest on this topic! Here is an artical from a newspaper, Telegraph.

For me, I prefer reading Twenty-Ten because it is shorter and more easy to pronounce. How about you? Do share your own opinions with me!

Dear Kim Fung,

I'm Yan Lo in 2A.
I prefer reading 'two thousand and ten' because it follows the pronounciation as 'two thousand and nine'.I think it's easier to remember!
Oh! You are the first student from Miss Cheung's class who leave comment on my blog. I think everyone may have their own choice to pronounce the words. But for me, I think if the year is made up of two 2-digit numbers, I will pronounce it in two numbers. Did you click the link that Miss Cheung provided?
I'm glad to have one more reader!
Yes, I did. I am a 'leisure' person sometimes so i think the discuss is a little bit meaningless although i know that they only are discussing about which is better.
By the way, i really believe that there are not only me is reading your blog. They may only read but not posting comments.
Did you set up a counter that distingush the 'returning visitor' and 'first visitor'?
Hopefully, there will be more readers than I expect!
Since I seldom 'look into' Blogger, I do not have a counter like you mentioned.
