In a few days it will be 2010 and I still haven’t decided what to call the decade that is ending.   Ten years ago we were waiting for the new millennium, wondering if computer systems around the world would crash, and as we left the nineties we had more on our minds than what to call the new decade.   It’s ten years later, and from what I can tell we still have no consensus.   Is it to be the aughts, the zeros, the ohs?    The easiest solution, of course, would be to look back 100 years and see what the first decade of the twentieth century was called.   And suddenly I learned why so many referred to the early 1900’s as “the turn of the century.”   I don’t think that they ever figured it out either.   So will this also be “the turn of the century” with the early 1900’s becoming “the turn of the last century” or will this be “the turn of the millennium.”   Only time will tell.
