Cheers leon
I would say

"1901" as nineteen o one etc up to 1909, nineteen hundred and one is just not smooth....
"1910" as nineteen ten etc up to 1999
"2000" was two thousand

funny that "2001" was two thousand and one and not twenty o one!

I am waiting to see if people use twenty ten (I will be) or will continue to use two thousand and ten.
