Some refer to the decade as "The Two Thousands", but many find that usage awkward and incorrect for a number of reasons, most notably the fact that, formally, the "Two Thousands" (that is, years whose spoken name begins with the words "two thousand") will last for a thousand years and not just the ten years of the "00" decade. Written in numeral form, the decade can be written either as the "2000s" or as the "'00s". But looking for a name that has the same "feel" as 'The Nineties' or 'The Fifties' has been problematic, especially in the United States.
So yeah, how are we supposed to call this decade to differentiate it from the ones to come?

Discutan, perritas.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well if you put it in that perspective we'll just have to wait to 2020 in order to recycle the twenties and so on. New Twenties still sounds akward.
