What are we going to call this era

    We have all read about the different times, the 20s, the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, so, back then what did they call the years before the 20s? Ive never heard of them being referred too? The 10s? surely not?

    And following on from that what are they going to call the decade we're living in now in years to come? the Naughties??:pac:

    Seriously, what was 1910 referred to as, and what will we refer to 2000 and 2010 as?

    I can handle 2020 as it will probably be just called the new/modern 20s or maybe just the 20s if the period of history being discussed is obvious....

    So come on, hit me with it, should I rush off and concoct names for these or has someone beat me too it?

    Think of it wrote in text too, the ''twenties'' sounded right, the naughties ,or zeros doesent......

    Of course it doesn't, it's text.

    You know what I mean.......talk to yer dad or granddad for some 40s and 50s speech demo lark....

    I spelt naughties that way on purpose to some what try and bring humour to the possible situation but obviously it dident work....

    Does anyone not find this unusual as to what these few years past and coming are going to be referred to as?

    "before the war"... and "during the war", depending on which part of the decade you were talking about.

    2000-2010 are the Noughties.

    2010 - 2000 Will probably be called the Deca's or something.

    I don't know but I hope I won't be referring to it thus: "Yes son, that was before the IMF took over. Back then I lived in an apartment of my very own. Here budge up in the cardboard box, you're hogging the dry spot."

    ^ That.

    Turn of the century sounds about right tbh, it's what they'd say for the beginning of any other century.

    Suppose it could be "turn of the millenia," too..
