I'd really appreciate if people would stop referring to this year as "oh-ten"

[mickill]

I know that just "ten" sounds ridiculous, and "twenty-ten" takes a whole 0.75 seconds to say, but "oh-ten" is just ignorant. C'mon now.

[Adam]

Dude, its habit.

At work I often have to say dates of birth from 05 to now so when you get an oh'10 its not because you think its funny, its because you've put aside as little brain power as needed to do a boring job.

[Guy Incognito]

yeah i got into that habit but have actually started calling it "and ten" and getting all kinds of strange looks

[Adam]

actually since twenty ten I've been calling other years 19--something, its a little weird, sorry :confused:

edit: as in the previous 10 before now not the previous 100 before that ten

[mickill]

yeah i got into that habit but have actually started calling it "and ten" and getting all kinds of strange looks

That's even worse.

I can't wait for the twenties because I think of the roaring twenties in the 20th century.

yeah

[checkyourprez]

i say 0'10. its the only way to go. on the intentional stupid tip. just wait until 11 and it will go away.

[mickill]

It won't go away, it will just become "oh-eleven"

[paul jones]

It won't go away, it will just become "oh-eleven"

ee oh eleven

[checkyourprez]

It won't go away, it will just become "oh-eleven"

nah.

be played out when it hits 11.
