2010 Calendar

2010 (MMX) will be a common year starting on Friday in accordance with the Gregorian Calendar. It will also be the first year of the 2010s decade.

Among experts and the general public, there is a debate as to how specific years of the 21st century should be pronounced in English. Although the majority of English-speakers say “two thousand X” for years of the current decade, in theory this could mean any year up to 2999.

One article suggests that since, for example, former years such as 1805 and 1905 were commonly pronounced as “eighteen oh-five” and “nineteen oh-five”, the year 2005 should naturally be pronounced as “twenty oh-five”, and that majority usage of “two thousand (and) X” is a result of influences from the Y2K hype, as well as the way “2001″ was pronounced in the influential 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

David Crystal, author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, has predicted that the change of pronunciation to “twenty X” will occur in 2011, as “twenty eleven”, explaining that the way people pronounce years depends on rhythm, rather than logic. Crystal claims that the rhythm or “flow” of “two thousand and ten”, beats that of “twenty ten”, but the flow of “twenty eleven” beats “two thousand and eleven”. Alternatively, Ian Brookes, editor-in-chief of Chambers Dictionary, suggests the change will occur in 2013 (as 2012 is often referred to as “two thousand and twelve”).

2010 FIFA World Cup

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the culmination of a qualification process that began in August 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams.

This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation, after South Africa beat Marocco and Egypt in an all-African bidding process. Italy is are the defending champions. The draw for the finals will take place on 4 December 2009 in Cape Town.
