2009: The Name Game

by Cheryl Johnson on January 2, 2009

So, what are calling this year, when you say 2009 out loud?  :-)

Do you say ” Two thousand nine”? 

Or do you go with “Twenty oh nine”?

What about next year?  Next year I think I might try “Twenty ten” as opposed to “Two thousand ten”.

And an even bigger question … what do you call this DECADE?

We had the “sixties”, the “seventies”, the “eighties”, the “ninties” …..

What will we call this decade?  The “zeros”?  The “Oh-ties”?  Any ideas?
