I know it's been a few weeks now, but I found another interesting article about what to name The Decade Formerly Known As 2000-2009: "The Uh-Ohs".

I still haven't made up my mind on what to call it other than not at all liking Britain's "noughties".

Interestingly, this article here has some historical context (mmmm, historical context): in 1933 the Chicago Tribune called 1900-1909 "the Naughty Aughts" - not unlike Britain's current phrase.

In related news, yesterday I caught myself referring to this current year as both "twenty-ten" and "two-thousand-and-ten" - so apparently I'm still wavering on that one, too.
