What decade????

[Mrs Jimothy 2B]

Sorry if this has been asked before..... But what decade are we in? And what will the next decade be? Have we gone from the nineties to the hundreds or to the zeros? And the decade after that is that the ten's? And after that do we go back to the twenties again?
And who decides this stuff anyways?

We are in "The Noughties"...

Seriously.

we're in the two thousands, and in 4 years we will be in the two thousand and tens. Insert hyphens where you feel appropriate.

I don't think anyone specifically came up with it - just makes sense doesn't it? The Noughts are "The Noughties", next comes "The Tens" as it did last time, then the twenties. The difference is that last time round the 1900-1909 decade was referred to as the Nineteen Hundreds. "Twenty Hundreds" wouldn't sound right. You couls of course always use "The Two Thousands".

In four years time we can all sound like we're in a crappy sci-fi flick of old and say "in the year twenty ten"

The nearest thing i can think of is "turn of the century" ive never heard the 00-09 years described as anything else.

The Noughies just sounds really weird i can't really imagine talking to someone in the future and saying 'Ya in the noughties this or that happened.....' it sounds like a junior school word for a bunch of mean girls...
Or is it just me that thinks it's a little wierd?
