I had [sarcasm] quotes around my post but they were deleted when it was posted. :)

I can't believe that even Wikipedia has it wrong!

I guess I thought that the base ten numbering system was 0-9 not 1-10. So therefore the first decade would have been year 0, day 0, hour 0, minute 0, second 0, and then ended on year 9, day 365, hour 23, minute 59, second 59. To include the full year 10 would actually be almost 11 full years...

I think that reading back to post #42 of this thread, I would disagree. As stated 1930 is not part of the "roaring 20s" just as the year 2000 was not part of the 90s. So 2010 is not part of the 2000s

I like the sound of the double "OOs" It sounds James Bond-ish. I think in the end the media will eventually name it and that will stick. Have you heard anything yet? Here is what Wiki says and they do not sound so sure: "Any decade is known by the term most commonly used. This decade will be...

Well it is that time of year again to bring this up. There have been lots of ideas but, with only a few days left to the decade, has anything stuck?

I was just happy to spell "grammatically" correctly. Besides that, in my last post, does the period go inside the quotations, or outside?

Maybe the decade will be known as the “grammatically correct 00s”

I don't know. If a troll is well educated, thats OK with me. :emoji_thumbsup: Is exact noon 12:00:00 AM? and 12:00:01 PM? Well this year is 2009 with the 00s. Next year is 2010 and no more 00s. So with that train of thought, I would say that this is the last year of the 00s. I personally like...

I thought I would bump this thread being as we are in the last year of the 00s. I still haven't heard a name catching on yet. Has anyone else?

I like the sound of the "double Ohs". Which one do you like?

Lets try some suggestions out. Use a common statement like:Music from the 80s was cool. Music from the oughts was cool. Music from the oh-ohs was cool. Music from the null decade was cool. These all sound like you are talking about one music group. Music from the noughties was cool...

Well 8 years into the decade, you would think we would have come up with a good name for it already. :P

I was wondering what this decade is called. There are the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but what is this one and the next called? or will we say "just after the turn of the century"?
