p.s.: I suppose it would be considered bad form to advocate hunting these people for sport wouldn't it?

The year is Two Thousand Ten.

While I don't like "twenty ten", I don't think anyone is going to stop using it. Much like the Maro, and Cammy terms.
Disagree. What year were you born, lets say '72. Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Two, or Nineteen Seventy Two? Nobody says Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Two, just as no one says Two Thousand and Ten. The first 10 years kind of roll of the tongue better by saying Two Thousand 4, or 6 or whatever, but starting w/ 2010, everyone will just say Twenty XX. Or another example, 105 years from now...would you say "Two Thousand One Hundred and Fifteen" or just "Twenty One Fifteen"?

OP, 100% agree.

Another thing I'd like banned is referring to your car as a 2SS, or 1LT, even when you're talking about your window tint. We never said "My '02 1SB SS was really fast" or "my window goes down slow on my 1SC". Unless it's pertinent to the discussion, just call it an LS, or LT, or SS.

Agreed. And by the way, it should be CDO. I insist the letters be in alphabetical order...

Just worry about yourself and it shouldn't bother you much. If you don't like it then don't use it. It's really that simple. Good day
