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...
30's - Thirties
40's - Forties
50's - Fifties
60's - Sixties
70's - Seventies
80's - Eighties

Re: What is the next decade gonna be called???
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.
