When you spell out the date for invites

2010 -- spell it out for me!

TIA!

i've read somewhere that the grammatically correct way of writing it is 'two thousand ten' ... that's what i did on mine ... but nobody is going to notice one way or the other

mine will have 'two thousand ten'

I teach math, so i did mine this way as well...AND is a decimal in math...so it means 2000.10 It was going to bother me, so I did two thousand ten

It's actually supposed to be 'Twenty ten' but that looks ridiculous.

Think of what they did in the 1900s...

'One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-five' for example... 'Nineteen hundred and ninety-five'... I don't know, they both look like crap to me.

I like 'Two Thousand and Ten' but it all looks wrong when you stare at it too much... man, are we getting old.

I put 'two thousand ten' on my invites.

I wondered about this too, though. If I had written two thousand and ten, I would think of 2000 and 10 (2000 and 10) which comes off weird.
How did the '09 brides do it? Did they have 'two thousand and nine' or 'two thousand nine'?

ok so i looked this up and its really supposed to be twenty ten... if you think about how we used to spell out other years like '1999' = nineteen ninety nine, or 1810 = 'eighteen ten' we dont say eighteen hundren and ten or one thousand eight hundred ten, etc.

we basically have always used the shortest version to say a year, so twenty ten is correct, and even though it looks funny an di prob wont use it, i guess two thousand ten is the next best thing.

I absolutely agree. Two thousand ten is the correct way to write it. No doubt about it.

FSIL is a math teacher and just said the same thing about the decimal!
