The year.
 
Good evening, dear colleagues! Could you help me, please...What should I use when reading or speaking: 2010 (year)-" two thousand and ten" or  "twenty ten" ?  Is the second variant possible?

Hello!  I �m also British and I say �Two thousand and ten �, but the BBC Breakfast programme informed us at the beginning of the year that �Twenty ten � is also acceptable.  It seems that we just haven �t made up our minds yet!
Best wishes

When I was student we used to say "nineteen hundred" (1900). As for 1050, I would read it as "ten fifteen".
