Hi everyone out there!
How are you doing this year so far? before you can answer this question maybe you need to know how to pronounce the year itself!
There's been a lot of debate as to how to say it: twenty-ten or two thousand ten.
One of the most important English Linguists -David Crystal- thinks that the rhythm or "flow" of "two thousand (and) ten", beats that of "twenty ten" (here you are the full wikipedia article about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010s)
And if you go to the link below (please copy the link and paste it in a new window) , you will hear (and read) some other opinions on this topic.

What's your personal feeling?
Mine is definitely twenty-ten!
See you soon!
