BillyVance 35 #1 January 22, 2007 Here's a question.... maybe BillVon can answer it. We have been calling each year since 2000, as two thousand, two thousand one, two thousand two, and so on... What happens when we get to 2010? Are we going to say two thousand ten, or make it quicker with twenty ten?"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadCone 0 #20 January 23, 2007 I usually call the year 2000 "two thousand". The years from 2001 to 2009 I would usually call "oh one, oh two, etc..." or maybe "two thousand one, two thousand two, etc..." The years from 2010 to 2099 I'll call "ten, eleven, etc..." or "twenty ten, twenty eleven". Calling 2001 "twenty one" is the same as 2021 so that won't work. Calling it "twenty oh one" seems too odd. I've seen reference to the decade of 2000 to 2009 to be called the "two thousands" but I don't like that. The "two thousands", to me, should refer to 2000 to 2999. Or we could call it the "International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World". I think the "oughts" were used for 1900 to 1909. That doesn't seem too bad. I doubt the "noughties" will get universally accepted in the US. Not sure anything will really. I always thought 1910 to 1919 were called the "teens" even though not all years are technically -teen. I think that would work for 2010 to 2019. When 2020 rolls around, that will be the "twenties". You'll have to say the "nineteen twenties" to refer to the, well, 1920s. Head-- Turn off the internet!
