can i say double O's?
just like double O, seven (007)
Answers:
I think you just say two-thousand's
Or the aughts (oughts)
it's actually just single 0. Like 07 = equals ohhh-seven
ought. pronounce it like that. call the "the oughts"
good question,
I guess just double o's.
two thousands, or thousands. I mean the early 1900's arent referred to as (80's, 90's, etc) until the 20's..
Soon you'll need to ask how to say the 10s. I just say the 2000s. You should ask someone alive during the 1900s. Good luck though.
Well, if it goes 70s, 80s, 90s; maybe it's 100s...
Some people here in Australia have been calling it "the naughties" (as in "naught" = 0), but it's not really catching on! I think "early twenty-hundreds" may be a possibility, along the lines of the phrase "in the early nineteen hundreds", but maybe not until we're into the second decade.
As a professional writer, I would re-word sentences to avoid awkward things like "00s", so perhaps "the first decade of this century"?
it's pronounced "uh-oh's", as in oops
If you say the full version of any of the others e.g. the nineteen eighties or the nineteen nineties and then shorten them, you get 'the eighties' or 'the nineties'. You haven't defined whether it is the eighteen nineties or the nineteen nineties or the twenty nineties.
So if you write '00's' you are usually talking about the 'hundreds' as in the eighteen hundreds or the nineteen hundreds. Since it is a new millennium, that complicates things. Because we are taking about dates and not straight numbers, I would venture that it is OK to say the 'twenty hundreds' because in 1900 you wouldn't have said "I'm living in the year one thousand nine hundred"
