Or another example, 105 years from now...would you say "Two Thousand One Hundred and Fifteen" or just "Twenty One Fifteen"?
Ok my Camry is a year Twenty Oh Oh
I was married in the year Twenty Oh Three

Why all the sudden Twenty Ten? Again it sounds like a dumb way to say Thirty. $2010 is not $20.10

Like it or not people are going to use it. To me Two Thousand Ten sounds much better. I wouldn't consider saying anything like the last century until 2100.

My point in making that is just because I don't like it, doesn't mean people are going to stop saying it. The MARO's, the Camo's the CAMMY's and the Camero's are probably not going to stop.
