So...what the heck do we call this year? (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=220840)

So...what the heck do we call this year?

It's been easy to figure out what to call the years for most of our lifetimes. 1932 was "thirty-two." 1999 was "ninety-nine." 2008 was "oh-eight."

So what the heck do we call 2010? Poll on its way.

twenty ten ?

one oh ?

1) The year of the Nude Anatomically Correct Yard Gnome.

or

2) Yodey Odey Oh.

Two thousand ten, though "yodey odey oh" has a certain allure.

I say we call it the year of Tits and Booze. You have to sell it when you say it.

How do you say "2010"?

Coming off of "two thousand nine," you'll probably say "two thousand ten." In fact, 4 out of 5 YouTube videos randomly reviewed by The Chronicle have people pronouncing it that way.

But you would be wrong, so wrong, according to the National Association of Good Grammar.

"NAGG has decided to step in and decree that (2010) should officially be pronounced 'twenty ten,' and all subsequent years should be pronounced as 'twenty eleven,' 'twenty twelve,' etc.," proclaims the association's news release.

The National Association of Good Grammar - essentially a guy named Tom Torriglia and some friends who also paid attention in English class - say people have been mispronouncing the year for 10 years.

"NAGG is here to put everybody back on the correct path," Torriglia said by phone from his home in San Francisco. "We lost the battle when we went from 1999 to 2000 - but now we're hoping to win the war."

The "20" should have been pronounced "twenty" all along, he said, pointing out that every year in the 20th century was pronounced "nineteen something."

" 'Twenty' follows 'nineteen.' 'Two thousand' does not follow 'nineteen.' It's logical."
