    I think we should avoid the whole issue and just not call it anything -- kind of like when professors say "Call me by my first name," and then you never call them anything.

    I have been calling the first decade of the 21 century the DIGITS

    This decade is the "naughts". As in "twenty naught nine". Calling them the "aughts" is a folk etymology and a back formation. Or the "naughties". It's consistent with forms like 'nineties', but it sounds a little cuties poo.
