Every other decade was easy, but now we're screwed.

But that takes in the next 996 years.
And it can't be new forever.

The two thousands

Brent88 · 09-03-2004, 11:40 PM

The Naught's?

The Zeroes?

LOL

It's almost 5 years into it and we haven't come up with anything yet.

What did people call the 1900's?

The 1900's. Or 20s, 50s, 70s, etc.....

PZelda · 09-03-2004, 11:43 PM

The zeroes?

1900s rolls off the tongue easily.

The 2000s is very akward.

I think he meant the decade of 1900 to 1910.

I have no idea, but I was wondering that myself. What DO you call this decade?

He meant words-wise. We can't go on calling this decade by numbers forever...

Brent88 · 09-03-2004, 11:46 PM

I meant the 1900-1910's.

2000's is too long. Blah.

Ive gotten along without saying it so far, but if it ever comes up, I want to be prepared.

It's so weird to think that 2005 is just right around the corner. When 2004 ends, it means we'll be halfway done with this decade....it feels like just yesterday 2000 was rolling around.

I'm with Tim...I haven't had any problems with it so far, but I want to be prepared if I have to call this decade by a specific name.
