In higher education, years are the last half of one and the first half of the next. So, we say oh eight oh nine (08/09), for the year that started in 2008. When we started discussing this year as the last half of the academic and FA year, people would say oh nine oh ten (09/10). People had to train themselves to leave the 'oh' out.
But I say two thousand ten, for the year.
