Ah, the beginning ofa new decade-If fill you with excitement, is not it? It's time to return a new sheet, no matter how the last 10 years went. But before exciting everythingon the 2020sIt may be a good idea to understand what we should call the decade we have just lived:The years 2010. Yes, we managed to go 10 years without clearly understanding how to refer to this period. Is it the "twenty tens"? What about "teens"? Or did BBC News suggest: "teenage girls"If you do not know what to call the years 2010, you are not alone.

The truth is, there is no definitive answer because little time is passed. "You never really know as long as something goes away,"David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics at the University of Bangor in U.K., saidThe mirrorIn 2010, "" teens "and" teens "were suggested, but the problem is that these words have become associated with adolescents over the last 50 years and so there is pressure against the use of the same word" .

He added that "the" Tennies "is a possibility because it was not used before" and "" "tensions" was also suggested, but it just goes against the model of decades, because the end of "links "Do not start before 2020."

Unfortunately, Crystal noted, it will be years before a name is chosen.

Historically, we have taken the pretty simple way of referring decades as groups: the 40s,the 50s, And so on. The first example of this was in a number of 1853 ofThe living age of littell,A magazine based in New York. The magazine noted that men born in "the seventies" of the previous century died at the fastest rates, while the death notices for men born in "the sixties" were rarer.

People also have decades associated with the definition of cultural moments, as is the case with "roaring years". The 1890s, for example, are sometimes called "90's gay, "Since it was whenOscar WildeIncreased prominence with its spiritual games and when the scandals of society dominated the titles.

However, these nicknames tend to do only a significant duration. If acultural phenomenon Is End up defining the years 2010, you will probably wait a moment to know which one is and the name it inspires.

After all, the 2000s have not yet inspired a definitive name. "Naughies" was the term favoredUK., whileThe New Yorkerchose to go with "Aughties". There were also other options that floated around, but they are never blocked "the twenty cents", "the dual operating system" and "the nillies".

Although there are only simple days of this decade, the fact is that no one knows that the years 2010 will be called. It could be "teenagers", "twenty tens", "teenage girls" or something entirely. But, "my prediction would be" the dozens, "said CrystalThe mirror. "In the story, people always went for the most obvious word, the easiest and shortest." And There you go!
