<p>What is the "proper" way? Isn't the former more proper than the latter. Because I got into a whole argument with my cousin claiming that twenty ten is the correct way of saying the year.</p>
<p>the proper way is “two zero one one”</p>
<p>Why, we said Nineteen Eleven and Eighteen Eleven, etc.</p>
<p>Too Zeero Wun Wun</p>
<p>My elementary math teacher always taught us that when you use “and” when signifying a number, the “and” meant it was a decimal number. So I’d say the former is proper.</p>
<p>Hmm. Well I’ve heard more people say Two Thousand and Ten, but Twenty Eleven sounds much more cool and futuristic.</p>
<p>I refuse to be twenty.</p>
<p>2012 can be the class of twenty twelve, but I will be the classof elevem or 2 thousand eleven.</p>
<p>I can’t stand when people say 20 something.</p>
<p>proper way is two thousand eleven. twenty eleven is a short unformal way</p>
<p>But then what if they mix up 1911 and 2011?</p>
<p>^Don’t get what you are trying to say there…</p>
<p>One of my teachers called 2010 “zolo” (looks like 2010 when written by hand). 2011 could be “zoll” :D</p>
<p>The proper way is twenty eleven. We said nineteen eleven rather than nineteen-hundred eleven, so I suppose that applies. </p>
<p>I, however, will continue to say two-thousand year.</p>
