If the 90's were the 90's and the 80's were the '80s and so on, what do we call this decade? and the next? Is 2009 in the "double-zero's"? what about 2011? That's not a "teen".

What about this year? do you pronounce it "Two Thousand Nine" or "Twenty Oh Nine"?

meh, don't call it anything. english has enough words, we don't need people making up new ones damnit.

The two-thousands.
