How Do You Say It?

Well?

[CatherineM]

The real question, is what will we call the 00's. The Zeros, the Oughts, Naughts, the Double Nils?

20-10

[tojo]

Twenty-ten for the win!

[Vincent Vega]

Two-thousand-ten.
And I refer to the decade from 2000 through 2009 as the turn of the century.

Good point.

[tojo]

The Twenty-Zeroes?

To be followed by the Twenty-Tens.

After that we will probably just say the Twenties for the Twenty-Twenties.

Just guesses though.

Too many people are unfamiliar with "oughts," so I doubt it will be that.

Here is a problem. I'm curious, I am currently going to graduate from my university this coming June, so does that make me the class of "Oh-ten" or just the class of "ten". I feel that the last nine years have created a standard that is difficult for us to overcome on a national level. The cultural standard was to say class of "Oh-seven", "Oh-eight", and "Oh-nine". I feel as though we need to continue with this trend, class of "Oh-ten", which kind of works since there is a "Oh" in the hundreds column. Right??

Discuss, elaborate, and debate.

You are the class of '10... There is no "oh-ten"

MMX.

Let's just start the calendar again. This is too complicated.

Either/or. I've been saying both.
