We didn't call 1910 "One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ten," we called it "Nineteen Ten," so I'm calling this year Twenty Ten. I know we've been calling recent years Two Thousand Eight, Two Thousand Nine, etc., but saying Twenty-Eight would have been misleading. Twenty-Ten is not. And at some point it'll be 2018–are you going to say "Two Thousand Eighteen"? No. "Two Thousand Thirty Seven?" No. So, Twenty Ten is a good year to break the Thousand-calling and start using the twenty!

My prediction: Y2K10 (why-two-kay-ten) or MMX (emm-emm-ex). I suppose by the time that year ever rolls around (IF it ever rolls around), people may chop off the Y, and shorten it to 2K10. Two-Kay-Ten, folks.

Well, i don’t know about anyone else(looking at the comments above, i think i’m the odd one out) but i say “two thousand and ten” but i hear people say “0h ten” and “twenty ten”

I’m sticking with 20-10. Twenty Ten. Easy to say, everyone understands and you don’t end up looking like a dork!
