Selamat tahun baru "dua ribu sepuluh" atau "dua puluh sepuluh" ?

tahun dua ribu sepuluh atau dua puluh sepuluh? hahha... memang persoalan yang menarik.. bagi aku buat masa sekarang lagi suka guna dua ribu sepuluh sebab sedap didengar, tapi mungkin satu hari nanti orang ramai mula menyebut dua puluh sepuluh sebab lagi ringkas. ikuti ulasan lanjut isu ini dalam article berikut: 




2010: 'Twenty ten' vs. 'two thousand ten', Nanette Asimov, San Francisco Chronicle

Coming off of "two thousand nine," you'll probably say "two thousand ten." In fact, 4 out of 5 YouTube videos randomly reviewed by The Chronicle have people pronouncing it that way.
But you would be wrong, so wrong, according to the National Association of Good Grammar.
"NAGG has decided to step in and decree that (2010) should officially be pronounced 'twenty ten,' and all subsequent years should be pronounced as 'twenty eleven,' 'twenty twelve,' etc.," proclaims the association's news release.
