We read 2007 two thousand seven. Since what year should we read it "twenty xx"? Like the way we read 1997

Question:We read 1997 nineteen ninety-seven. I believe that from some year on in this century, we will read the year the same way. For example, read 2035 twenty thirty-five instead of two thousand thirty-five.

Answers:
Probably in 2010. I know that in 1907 they would have said nineteen oh seven. But it doesn't sound the same saying twenty oh seven. It is two zeroes and confusing. So, my guess is twenty ten is when we will begin abbreviating the number value.
Yes....I agree. Odd, isn't it?
There is no real wrong way to say the current year in which we all live in. Its like how Americans put the date as 03/13/2007 (Month, Day, Year) where as other countries place it as 2007/03/13 (Year, Month, Day) Again both methods are correct forms of showing todays date.
When we get to the first decade: twenty-ten (and up, twenty-eleven, twenty-twelve, and so on).
You could say twenty-oh-seven, but I think that sounds rather awkward and could be confused with 27 instead of 2007 .
In my opinion it will be when and if we reach 2020. We can say twenty ten 2010 but when it gets to 2011, I think it's easier to say two thousand and eleven than twenty eleven and it sounds better, but hey that's just my opinion. I guess it all depends on how easy or hard it is for you.
Yes, from 2010 onwards, we will say 'twenty ten', 'twenty eleven' etc. We can't do it like that now, because we would be saying 'twenty seven'.
