I say twenty oh one just because i dislike inconsistency and prefer twenty oh over two thousand
Comment on At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"?

2010, simply because of how english works.
If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.
“Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

Your assuming this isn’t a stupid question.

I was gonna say most of this. I would just add that now, when referring to a year between 2001 and 2009, I just say “oh [number]”. So I’d say “Did Batman Begins come out in '05 or '06?”
