Default I'd prefer the tens, but I dont think it will catch on.

So do we have to call this the Tennies then? I thought calling this decade the Noughties was silly enough.

Technically speaking, it'd depend on if the calendar started with the year 0 or 1. With the Gregorian Calendar (and Julian), it starts on a 1. This should make it 1-10 as a decade, 11-20, 21-30, etc. So the current decade is 2001-2010.

Practically speaking, I think it's based on how we often refer to decades. For example, you call the eighties 1980-1989, the nineties 1990-1999, and so on. I've rarely come across folks who'd say that the eighties was 1981-1990, for example. In that light, most probably consider the first decade of the two-thousands to be 2000 - 2009.

Yep. The silly names for the current age is what we get for coming up with names for decades no sooner than 1920 or so I guess. And the decades themselves don't even fit in with actual chronology, which as we've all heard a hundred times since 1999 puts the beginning of the century and the millennium at 2001.

It's this lack of foresight that gave us the Y2K problem you know. Be happy it's nothing more dangerous than linguistic aesthetics at risk.

Basically forever. It's been studied and that last dollar out of every ten does in fact make a bigger difference in sales than any of the previous nine.

That said, if it was me I'd calibrate prices so sales tax would round 'em off.

Did you maybe work in a matchstick factory in London in Jack the Ripper's day?

Saw Dick Clark unthawed for a few minutes, and got into the new year by finishing MGS4(Spare christmas funds and all).
