That works for me
The BBC are routinely saying twenty-ten. It sounds a bit informal for the BBC, but nobody thought that saying nineteen was sloppy, did they?

MMX is ace though, it sounds like a futuristic BMX.
It might stop me saying "the 2K10 y'all" simply because I'm so unsure.

The Beeb newsreaders apparently gravitated towards "twenty-ten"
because it has fewer syllables than "two thousand and ten".

Lazy sods.

I do expect more from the BBC
Maybe this is why they say 'chock-lit' and 'med-sun'. Maybe they're just being frugal with the syllables.

You should withhold about 1/3 of a penny from your licence fee
as syllabic ransom money.

I just might.
I might also introduce Mis-pronunciation Tax. 10p every time they say 'hommer-sex-yule'.
