This morning over breakfast I read a section of the paper dedicated to an overview of the last decade. They referred repeatedly to the Noughties, and I thought, "who are these people?"
I googled it. Noughties as in nought as in zero as in 00,01,02,etc.
Somehow, I can not picture myself on Dec. 31 popping the cork on a bottle of champagne and cheering "I survived the noughties!" Everyone will just think I have rambunctious and undisciplined toddlers at home.
What's the decade going by in the states?

I think when I'm old and curmudgonly I will refer to this decade as the "oughts." "I remember back in ought-7..."
