I use both interchangeably, but I seem to use "Twenty-Ten" more.

Sadly, I've accustomed myself to the five-syllable pronunciation.

I'm kind of with Tk at this point. Honestly, you'll have to get back to me in 2011--I don't think I ever have much cause to mention a year in conversation unless it's in the present or past.

I say two thousand ten because I'm not a ******bag who likes to be contrary for the hell of it.

I used two thousand x throughout the last decade. Now twenty x has taken over because that's how people were referring to dates occurring now and in the future before we got to them.
That was a joke.

I'm going to make fun of all the people that wait until 2020 to switch because it sounds cool instead of doing it now. I also kinda want to live to see 2110 to see if there's still people saying "two thousand one hundred and ten". Thirdly, I'm pretty sure my kids will call last year "twenty oh nine" and we'll sound like old people saying "nineteen hundred and aught five" instead of "ninteen oh five" to them, though my mom is convinced they'll come up with something completely different. Fourthly, Bill O'Reilly calls it "two-ten", incidentally. Fifthly, does anyone else find themselves saying "oh-ten" for the abbreviated form, as in Class of '10, like '09, etc.? I'm doing it semi-intentionally at this point, since I feel like it's going to be a while before the last two digits on their own sound like years again rather than just numbers, and we've become accustomed to years starting with oh. And there still is an 0 before it, anyway.

As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

From now on, I shall refer to all years in their proper numerical tense.

How come the people pronouncing it in the format all other years in human history are pronounced are "contrary ******bags".

I haven't decided yet, though I might go with twenty-ten. Maybe.

I'd just like to say that I think it's weird that people are treating this like a new conundrum now all of a sudden. People have been talking about these years for a long time.
That was a joke.
