As 2009 draws to a close, did you also realize it’s the end of the decade and the start of a new one? So what should we call the upcoming period of 2010-2019? The Teenies? The Tenties? The Tenners? How about the Twenty Tens?
‘Twenty Tens’ was the most popular name for the upcoming decade, according to a survey of 5,000 Brits conducted by insurance comparison site Gocompare.com. Nearly a third of those surveyed said ‘Twenty Tens’ was the most catchy name.
So there you have it. Start throwing around the term ‘Twenty Tens’ and you’ll be ahead of the curve.

Personally I like the ‘twenty ten’s’ it rolls off the tongue better. Someone said to me that it doesn’t matter but I think it does, because all the other decades have been referred to in short, such as the 80’s, 20’s, 60’s etc, so you cant go around saying stuff like ‘ah yes I remember the good old 2010’s’ would sound rubbish lol.
