Oh-Ten?

I've said Oh-Ten for two thousand and ten for awhile now, but people look at me weird. They're all like "oh ten? wtf"

To me though.. isn't the year just two-oh-ten?

When you say "ten" it doesn't sound like you're referring to a year. I say "Oh-Ten" because people know I'm talking about a year.

I blame weezer:

So my question basically is.. is saying "Oh-ten" weird? have you heard people say it? What do you say?

Thanks!

 

I wouldn't say it's weird. Most people just say it full "2 thousand and ten". I'd understand if someone say oh ten.

 

Oh-ten would sound weird to me xD I always just say ten, but idk if it's because it sounds different in Danish. But I wouldn't say 010 in english either..

 

mmm well it is...different?

i like to agree with this site:

We've said Oh-nine, oh-eight, etc, for 9 years.

It's a way of shortening it syllabicly(sp?). Twenty-ten is three syllables. oh-ten is two.

 

I usually just say two thousand ten or twenty ten. For me it just rolls off the tongue better.

 

Yeah, I say two thousand ten too. To me, it just sounds weird if someone says "o-ten". Twenty-ten works too... but still not as normal as "two thousand ten".

 

I've never heard anyone say "oh-ten". I've only heard "two thousand ten" and "twenty ten".

 

Oh-Ten....? Nah, not weird at all.
