Often I will see "The 00s" in written media, but how do historians refer to that decade in conversation? I've heard the "aughts," and even the playful "onesies," but I wonder if Historians don't have something a bit more elegant.
I've mostly read/heard "eighteen-hundreds (1800s)", "Nineteen-hundreds" (1900s)" etc, which is why it always throws me when questioners use, for example, "1800s" to refer to the entire century not just its first decade...
