(On "Nineteen aught three", as brought up by Ron Butters--)



Right, as in the "Naughty Aughties", another round of which will be coming up

before we know it. Do any other ADS-ers have any predictions on what the

coming decade will be called? Or the one after it, for that matter? (This

question has been entertained by Safire in his On Language columns, but of

course inconclusively.)
