If it's 8:09PM and somebody asks you the time, you say "Eight oh-nine PM."

If it's 8:10PM and somebody asks you the time, you say "Eight ten PM" not "Eight oh-ten PM."

Apply the same concept to the year and it's either "two-thousand-and-ten" or "twenty-ten."

way to make a total irrelevant comparison.
I was using that point to illustrate the fact that it's incorrect to say "Oh-ten."

I shouldn't have said "Apply the same concept" for the last statement because it is a different point. I should have said: "The correct way to say it is either 'two-thousand-and-ten' or 'twenty-ten.'"

My mistake

2010 still has an "0" in it tho, so oh-ten works cuz it's the "010" part of "2010".
the eight oh-ten doesnt work cuz it's 8:10. There's no "0" between the 8 and 10. There is in 2010 tho...

ok, so in "1999" did you shorten it to "999"? using 3 digits makes no sense at all, or if it is "10:10" do you sayits ten oh-ten? im confusing myself here, ill just stick with twenty ten
 
do u think people in 1010 thought about this also?

anyays i say 20-10
shorter then 2010 and oh 10 just doesnt sound to good
 
If somebody says "oh ten" to me, they're gettin a quick stink eye...

twenty ten or if you have to be lazy just say 10. People will know what your talkin about
 
why not just 2 '10, "two ten" its been the 2000s for a decade...we should all know by know its TWO thousand whatever....so 2 '10 will suffice

examples " I smashed ole girl in 2'10"

..."Lakersrepeated in 2'10"
