Archief - De jaren 2000?
Het archief is een bevroren moment uit een vorige versie van dit forum, met andere regels en andere bazen. Deze posts weerspiegelen op geen enkele manier onze huidige ideeën, waarden of wereldbeelden en zijn op sommige plaatsen gecensureerd wegens ontoelaatbaar. Veel zijn in een andere tijdsgeest gemaakt, al dan niet ironisch - zoals in het ironische subforum Off-Topic - en zouden op dit moment niet meer gepost (mogen) worden. Toch bieden we dit archief nog graag aan als informatiedatabank en naslagwerk. Lees er hier meer over of start een gesprek met anderen.

Looks like it
In contrast to the decades from 1920 to 1999, which are called "the Twenties", "the Sixties", and the like, the 2000s have no universally-accepted name. Some people refer to the decade simply as the "twenty hundreds"; this can be written as "the 2000s" or "the '00s". But simply saying "the 2000s" can cause confusion, since this could refer to the entire 21st century—or even the entire millennium.
Looking for a name for the decade has been problematic, especially in the United States. The term "Noughties" has been suggested by the BBC,[1][2] and in fact, in most English-speaking countries, "Noughties" and "Noughts" have come to be the most widely recognized and accepted terms.[3] But in North America this term has not become popular, largely because few Canadians or Americans even recognize the use of naught or nought to mean zero; to their ears, Noughties sounds like it is related to the adjective naughty.
Other proposed names have been almost innumerable, and include:
* aughts, aughties, and double-aughts, from 'aught',[4] which, like "naught" means "zero" (aughts was one of the more popular terms in the early 20th century)
* nils and nillies, from 'nil', meaning "nothing"
* 2Ks, from the Greek term khilioi, meaning "thousand"
* ōzies, from the practice of calling the number zero 'O'
* zeroes, double zeroes, ohs, double ohs, and oh-ohs
However, none of the above suggestions represent any consensus.
