It's Marathi. In Hindi that would be "Do Hajaar Dus" |

| The better question is what exactly will be the year when everybody will stop saying the 20 and just use the last two numbers, like everyone did in the last decade. |

I'm waiting for the nickname of the decade, like the roaring twenties for 1920s for example. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you Swedes are crazy. :p
Haha, but seriously.. "twentyhundred"? No wai! Do they teach that in school too? Because I was in a Swedish school over here for some 10 years and never heard anyone say it like that, but ALL Swedes do it.
Tomatotomato but it just doesn't sound right.. to me :p |

It is incorrect to add "AND" to a number. Two Thousand and Ten would look like 2000 + 10, or:

wouldn't two thousand and ten be 2000.10?
:p |
In school we were taught not to add "and," so it would be Two Thousand Ten for me. |

Just because it's incorrect for you, doesn't mean it is for the rest of the world ;)
In school, I was taught to add 'and' to it. "Two thousand AND ten".
Nobody here says "Two thousand ten". |

Fixed. It's kind of cute when some of them think they "don't have an accent", though :p |
