    I personally intend to wait and see how it pans out before I decide what to call it.

    Just like the noughties it does not exist.

    the ies start at 20 there is none for 00 or 11

    But there are elevenses, which is a snack and as that's all we'll be living on, it might be appropriate.

    2000-2009 are the zeros.

    2010-2019 are the tens.

    Simple.

    Its a very simple pattern. I'll break it down Barney style since you are all a bit slow.

    1960-1969 are the sixties.

    1970-1979 are the seventies.

    1980-1989 are the eighties.

    1990-1999 are the ninties.

    2000-2009 are the zeros.

    2010-2019 are the tens.

    Now kids, anyone who spots the pattern gets a gold star.

    This reminds of the stupidity of people in the nineties.

    You are not very good at pattern recognition.

    Thank You. Finally someone who recognizes that this decade started in 2010, not 2011.

    The Hard Winters Decade.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    The 90's = 1990 - 1999

    The 00's = 2000 - 2009

    The 10's = 2010 - 2019

    We had 2010 already. We've lived one year through this decade, why are we only looking for names for it now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    to refer back to it in the future and tell future generations how shoight it was

    wtf is this ****?

    You think they called the swingin' sixties before people started having wife swaps?

    You have to wait for the decade to happen before you can call it something.

    the real question is what were the 00s?
