What is the next decade gonna be called???
 
20's - Twenties
30's - Thirties
40's - Forties
50's - Fifties
60's - Sixties
70's - Seventies
80's - Eighties
90's - Nineties


Hell, we even managed to sort out...

00's - Noughties

So, is it gonna be the Tensies, or are we gonna forget the first 3 years and call them the Teensies...

What did they call it between 1910 and 1920? It must have had a nickname of some sort surely, or is this a more modern 'invention'?

according to wikipedia it does seem to have started 1920's onwards...

"2010s decade, pronounced "twenty-tens", "two thousand (and) tens" or simply "the tens",[1][2] is the upcoming decade beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2019."

Well we have 10 or so years to ponder the issue....as you tend to use these terms retrospectively....i.e. after that decade has passed.
