[Sam Fisher]

I say 2020.

Only if we have hoverboards by then.

The Correct and Historical Word for the first Decade of a Century is "Ought".


That would mean, we are in the Oughts. The Year is Twenty-Ought-Eight. But, people don't use the word Ought anymore, except the Military. It's still used in Terminalogy for Weapons too, "Double-ought-six" for example.

Only if we have hoverboards by then.

you could actually make them but it would involve a hell of a lot of work and in the long run would not be worth it...

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I say call 2001-2009 the Double noughts.

 

[Silverstein]

I've been saying "twenty" since "twenty-oh-one"
