We should call the current decade the "thousands" because we're always hearing people say "two-thousand one" for 2001, "two-thousand four" for 2004, and etc.

Of course, keeping the "two-thousand" will make saying 2011 and later a mouthfull, so I'm going to say that people will start using twenty-eleven, twenty-twelve, twenty-thirty-seven, etc.

This seems the most likely, and a trend we've already begun. I'd bet all the pants I own that after 2009, we'll just smack "twenty" in front of everything else. But I would not call this decade the "thousands". It is inaccurate. I would call it the "Bush is a moron" decade.

Yeah, I figured it was doctored. Still funny though. And Bush is still a moron.
