How do you pronounce the new year 2010? The question sounds silly. But it is going to make a big difference in our day to day life.

www.twentynot2000.com is a new website launched to set the trend in pronouncing the year. According to this new concept, we should say Happy Twenty Ten

The following is the message given in www.twentynot2000.com,

Say the year “1810″ out loud. Now say the year “1999″ out loud. See a pattern? It’s been easier, faster, and shorter to say years this way for every decade (except for the one that just ended) instead of saying the number the long way. However, many people are carrying the way they said years from last decade over to this decade as a bad habit. If we don’t fix this now, we’ll be stuck saying years the long way for the next 89 years. Don’t let that happen!

Isn’t sound interesting now?

I wish you all a Very Happy Twenty Ten.
