I say Two thousand ten because two thousand and ten is 2000.1 I believe.
Wtf, are you on?
Two thousand and ten is 2010.
2000.1 is two thousand point one.
No, he's actually right. Well, mostly. 2000.1 is two thousand and one tenth. Still, you get what he's saying. Two thousand and ten is nothing. The correct way to say it is two thousand ten, without the "and". "And" is used for decimal points. True, most people say "point" rather than "and", but "and" is the correct way to say it.

That's the technically correct way.
