The teacher in me is really bothered by this. It doesn't help that I can't find a consistent answer either.

The Knot, Emily Post and various others use two thousand and ten. Other sources use two thousand ten. As a teacher you know that "and" is used as a decimal point but seeing that years don't have decimal points, I don't know. I tried to look up the correct english usage for years but didn't find anything.

When I speak I saw two thousand and ten so thats what I would use personally. No one is really going to notice, with the exception of other teachers. I know Gabs will say use two thousand ten. But I think it's a personal preference.

I am on the two thousand ten side of this debate and my wedding invitations had two thousand nine for the year. No "and".

I'm not a teacher and I don't know how formal I'd like the English invitation to be... but personally, I think "two thousand ten" flows better than "two thousand and ten". (o: GL with your debate!
