Blame 2001: A Space Odyssey for us not using "ought"

I heard a blurb about how 2010 should be called "twenty-ten" instead of "two thousand ten."  We were not calling 1999, "one thousand nine hundred ninety-nine."

For 2009, we should have been using the term "twenty ought nine." Sometimes the "ought" is abbreviated to "o" for "twenty-o-nine."

Some people are saying the 1968 movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey was called "two thousand one" has made it so familiar that when the year changed from "twenty hundred" or 2000 to 2001, it felt so much more comfortable to say "two thousand one" instead of "twenty ought one."
