Back in the Naughties we had the WORST cell coverage...

Uh-oh, people. It's almost 2010 and we still seemingly haven't decided, as a global whole, what to call this current decade. It was the "eighties," then the "nineties," then the...what? Oh-ohs? Zeros? Aughties? Naughties?

This page discusses the main possibilities. But we will probably have to wait several years for a definitive answer, just by seeing which usage shakes out as the prevailing one.

As soon as my evil plans come to fruition and I'm Emperor Of The World, calling this decade The Naughties will be the law of the land.

It shouldn't be more than a few weeks from now.

I do like that one too.

And can I have a title and some land, when the Empire comes into being?

Let's compromise: You can live in a wing of my Adirondack castle ( http://www.dupontcastle.com/castles/litchfie.htm ), and your title will be "The Writer Upstairs". :-)

Since they use antlers in all their decorating--okay. :)

Just remember not to turn into a snake. It never helps.

I've got the kinks all worked out now. Trust me, this time it will be different.
