How do/will you say "2010"?

Is it “two thousand ten”, like we’ve been doing for the past 10 years? Or is it “twenty ten”, like we did for centuries before this decade?
Personally, I’m all for going back to two pairs of two digit numbers. The only reason we stopped doing that in the first place is because “twenty hundred” just sounds stupid. “twenty oh one” would have been just as fine as “nineteen oh one” was…
What’s your opinion? How will you pronounce the years starting in a few months?
(Side note – can we all at least agree that our descendents should be saying “twenty-one <whatever>” rather than “two thousand one hundred <whatever>”?)
