Actually, until the year 2000 we did refer to years like 19-81, 18-74 etc. but you you call the current year 20-06, or "two thousand and 6"?

I agree with 21-42 but for some reason 20-XX doesn't sound right, whereas two thousand and XX does.

Odd.

21-42, its the way all years are pronounced.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

What strikes me as more odd is the way everyone referred to 2000 (and they still do) as "the year 2000".

When it comes to 2010, will it be twenty-ten or will we keep the current trend and say two thousand and ten?

Btw, for the poll, twenty one fourty two.

I used that for a while to and always thought what a shit title!  Then near release I heard 21-42 more and more so I use that and voted for it.
