    5 stars because the construction worker said Twenty-ten and not Two thousand and ten.

    Ella great report though, the Broadway Bridge you were standing on goes to Marble Hill, which is still part of Manhattan, it’s not part of the Bronx. The Bronx begins just north of West 228th Street.

    @3rkid2

    That’s just ridiculous Does it really matter? I prefer to say “two thousand and ten”, but I don’t think people who say twenty-ten are saving time or are any more intelligent than those who say “two thousand and ten”

    If you were saying “twenty X” to refer to the year before this decade, then I guess your consistent, but if you just hopped on the “20″ bandwagon just so you could convert people, I hope your side loses out.

    No, we should have began the 2000 millennium saying two-thousand and then started saying Twenty-oh-one in 2001.

    Twenty-ten is the correct pronunciation. There’s nothing more to discuss than that. I don’t know of this “side” non-sense you’re talking about but “our side” will eventually win.

    There’s no bandwagon here.

    I’m just saying you can go around correcting people who say “two thousand and ten” and complimenting people who in your mind say it correctly, but it won’t amount to anything.

    I haven’t read anything on the correct way to pronounce this year but the majority of people will continue to say “two thousand and X” because that’s what they’ve grown accustomed to, despite of the efforts of people like you who appreciate correctness.

    I’m sure some have seen it, and some might even have worked on it. The construction industry is a traditional employer of some tribal groups in NYC.

    There’s no “correct way” to say anything when some people say one thing and other people say it a different way, and still other people vary between one and the other. I say that as a linguist. In fact, I’ll use this discussion in my class!!!

    There is no one power point associated with this. They are not building a powerplant - they are building a tunnel. It’s just a new component of the larger grid.

    Anyway, thanks for pointing this new tunnel out to us… because now I’ll have a new place that I can crawl in to crash for the night when I’m in the city panhandling. Excellent! Unparalleled! Outlandish! See ya!
