| Vote A Buck Google 20 O's results Oh Here's 20 Definition - Maneuver: an act or instance of changing the direction of a moving ship, vehicle, etc., as required. Following are cross notes I am deciphering and updating moment-to-moment online though it seem Wikipedia editor isn't attending. Wikipedia fears it seeems that I will out maneuver their online revisions or worse. I detect repititously and consistantly it offer misquotes and misnomers, which display on their sites though of late is such better they're understanding my content which I have for over a decade been attempting to coach them with but Wiki in concert with other editors, as AOL or Google search engines usually, too liitle and too late do come half around when "decade name" enquiries to our 20 zeroes alpha-numeric nominations sought. I do campaign the name offline. The facts about this first decade of this 21st century are always posted here at this web site and falsely interpreted there at wikipedia. Wales acts like he doesn't want to acknowledge piers and is my complaint and so I suspected he'd been unable to further handle the "decade name" riddle. So the next message you're now reading, until I'm ready to remove it being these notes also including TOC link Wikipedia Misnomer above may yet be a bit complicated though Wikipedia immediately after I posted these lines revised or refigured their estimates - so, quickly I ask you to visit here and see now for yourself how ignorant like if Wales hasn't done his math, Wikipedia then handles this topic. They describe or described depending on "revise timelines" and in few short words that our 3rd millennium here is 1001 years long when in fact it and every millennium is 1000 years loooooooooooooooooooong! When I posted the comments that Wikipedia had posted as final describing the 3rd millennium to be from January 1st, 2000 to December 31st, 3000 which at that was wrong if even next today and last Wikipedia's revise being once our latter follow-up but listed formerly as January 1st, 2001, and now post-follow our former but at last ending post, a date December 31st, 3000 but they may have not the way they revise and restate stats and quotes. They're not even an information site if projected to event one being today they are a cooperative project in early stages of developement. If reading this you're the publisher himself don't thank me just get your edits interesting. Retrospectively with getting over the biggest hurrdle, "the big stir up" of curiousity and magnitude of interest by all in completing an online poll it makes me now wonder why don't or if when search engineers will maintain 20 O's (or zeroes) search ratings when enquiring "decade name" whether Google, Bing or Ask.com nudging those multitudes of writers and bloggers out of their fanciful imaginations and into the center of the matter. They (search engines) hung in for eight years but for two years now they are apparently going the "way of wikipedia" and global news networks mostly ones here in the US. Are who by (wikipedia) the very genre of their modeling has much of information there in edit so how would these big search engines benefit their public who is actually looking for facts. Ask.com has held the search results all the way so congratulations to Ask. Might then we consider since "O" or the O's have it and summarily I have squared off this matter, answering twenty ways to One how and why zerOs and or O's deserve the title honor for the second term of the alpha-numeric two word name of this 201st decade since year 1 AD, that if, people don't adapt to zeros as name winner maybe we should observe something more obvious like (twenty) "globes or rings or the 20 planets." Some solar system has 20! Hows about the circles - they're circular as like are O's or zeros. Just can't help but noticing the big fat O near the end of the word zero. Hey let's have a dinner party and set down 20 "plates" OR A birthday party and a hoola hoop contest. Portals, buttons (those words have an O in them) or what about the (20) "hockey pucks"? The OreOs. The oniOns. For fanciful dreamers hows about the 20 bubbles or is 20 coins enough? Definitely not for me! 20,000 maybe. Hey for you nightsky watchers can I tell you all about the spheres or moons? Can you even find twenty (20)? Someone has thought of the word holes. I vote no on holes! Balloons yes - there's two more ZerOs or O's however you like your balloons. Well I think you caught my drift, it's bout' time for me to go get some nods and winks - YEAH the "2O clocks." We all can tell time. We just can't count out and place the first 201 decades and 2010 years since the beginning, meaning from year 'O1 in the "unies first" decade - not, from or since this zerOes 201st decade. If you count the 20 zerOs or O's in this first decade, they don't even include the zeros in the year 2000. Count them in years 2001 through 2010. Being a misnomer to include year 2000 anywhere but in the 1990's (its last year) if even there it sounds incorrect it is because it is a misnomer there also! It is a hurrdle but get over it! There WAS NO year zero.AD BC or otherwise.  Vote Here! Smart tip on page and special note to engineers who are obviously divided if just enough to siderail efforts to see the 20 O's name campaign over the edge. For the recent decade I've been annoucing plans to write book about the name "twenty zeros" and yet am projecting to release my memoir by 2012 however I intend to not insert any matters about this there but insist we proceed through the online communities to resolve these near now ridiculous charades of letting everyone take a crack at design work. Chief editor inside leading lexicography groups concluded that the matter would surely resolve from within pop culture, which is heaviest where the internet performs search's and which everyone I talk to agrees easily so rests online. If Google, Bing and Yahoo, as I see it, don't retain "decade name" search results at least somewhere on their firstpage results of "my 20 O's or zeros" I have to tell everyone the riddle answer will go further unsolved for ignorances and personally I don't care but think these two (or maybe just one) search editors believe I do care and so expect I'll go to great lengths as now is Ryan Guerra going who they know has a dumb pitch if he's polished individually. Read here where the original viewer Zebulon suggested "the unies" and which this name was debated. So the concerns may rather be, is zero a numeral character which represents the numeral before numeral one? Many academics believe so. Email your comments.  Addressing our original page title, in archives "Decade Name Twenty What?" Genuinely it doesn't have to be a given that "we have entered the 21st century clearly now and that all decades here begin with 20" or 2 0. But 2 0 is not, nor is ever refered here to as "two zero" (2 0) but 20 or twenty, in a vernacular in case some enterprising individual(s) reappear with some bellringing idea for a new twist, of this most definite and also ordinal numbers symbolism, as code and albeit for the first word or term of the two-term or 2 word alpha-numeric title or phrase such as the "20 0's". Most all online forums generally agreed upon use of a term zeroes (spelled either way as too, "zeros") for the decade name and though may inadvertently have addressed the simple importance as for nothing more or further included with "term and word" zeros during months preceeding this decade and too months (and years) following, and but launched a mountain of anachronism surrounding our need for two words or terms, if joined together, otherwise an easy ability we surely have to count to 10 and subsequently after, count to or through twenty. The "beginner forum" previously held as title on this frontpage for over six years now has been refiled on this date April 1st, 2007, into the T O C at top of page but with all of the original detailed material so that room for some more highlighted concepts and even theories if you wish to submit email comments, as has been the proceedure for an exchange of our ideas and debate for the stigma. SO new campaign for Diet Rite states: "O Calories O Carbs O Caffeine O Sodium" dietrite.comPure ZerO cola. Goes the ad highlighting the big fat O at the end of ZerO. Cheerios has been a family favorite for years — with good reason! ... Those wholesome little O's have only one gram of sugar.Please here, if year zero were refered to as contrasting year one, AD or BC but in holographic view not so linear, as we too often do then one year must be one, one year and first year. Year One AD that is for our purpose. It's that plain and simple! There was nO zerO or year zero. So start your count from or with one (year one) and count ten years and you have a complete decade and the next year after this first decade has completed is year 11 so being the first year of the second decade with count (year) 11. This From Publishers Weekly A Greek collector of religious relics searching for artifacts from Christ's crucifixion sends samples of a powder dated to Year Zero to three foreign labs, thereby unwittingly unleashing a plague organism that races through the world's populations. Add A Few More Zeroes To My Paycheck! "Decade Without A Name" is article By Reporter Maria Puente, USAToday The new century is almost here and we - that is, Americans and the rest of the English-speaking world - still haven't decided what we're going to call the first decade. To wit: We're coming out of the 1990s and going into the what? The 2000s? How do you say that? No doubt most people haven't thought much about this looming linguistic crisis - too busy arguing about whether computers will work or when the new millennium really starts. But it's no small thing to those who need such a shortcut. Imagine Dan Rather comes on one night and says, "The government predicted today the U.S. economy will decline sharply in the middle of the uh Double Ohs? The Pre-Teens? The Zeros?" Or imagine you're a headline writer and have to squeeze in "The first decade of the 21st century." What will that be? FD21C? Not likely. "What are car dealers supposed to say about their new cars - the 'Zero Plymouths' are here?" asks Avi Arditti of Voice of America, which is running a worldwide contest to find a name for the decade. Surely then there's a government department working on all this. Wrong. Apparently, no one in America's vast officialdom is in charge of deciding what we're going to call the years 2000-2009. A USA TODAY survey of language mavens, dictionary editors, dialect experts and futurists also came up empty. The Associated Press, the largest domestic news service, has not decided what to use. It, too, is waiting for a consensus to develop. "You know, the person who comes up with this name is going to be significant," says Ken Davis, historian and author of Don't Know Much About History. He prefers the term Decade One - presumably D1 for short. Frank Abate, editor in chief of the U.S. Dictionaries Program for Oxford University Press, which publishes the authoritative Oxford English Dictionary , says his advice is to wait and listen. "My position as a lexicographer is to wait for people to start talking and then hold a microphone out," says Abate. "Something likely will catch on, and my guess is it will be coming out of popular culture." We know what you're thinking: Why don't we just use the same term they used for the first decade of the 20th century? Well, it turns out no one knows what term was used back then. It could have been the "nineteen hundreds," or 1900s, according to Allan Metcalf, an English professor at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Ill., and secretary of the American Dialect Society. Incidentally, he thinks the next decade will be known as either The Zeros or The Ohs. Some historians think the concept of referring to decades as discrete units of time didn't develop until after World War I. There's some evidence that even the "Gay Nineties," the gilded years of the 1890s, didn't come into use in America until decades later. "Before the war, if you asked someone about a date, they would say, 'That was in 1904,' or 'That was during the Taft administration' or something like that," says Ronald Grele of the Oral History Research Office at Columbia University. "Then World War I became such a turning point in American life, the teens and aughts (zeroes) faded into 'before the war.' " But John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary in Britain, says researchers have found that terms like the "twenties" or the "thirties" became popular at the end of the 19th century. "Most of them are first recorded in the 1880s," Simpson says. "Presumably that was when the sense that they were nearing the end of a century really permeated the public imagination." Other historians say the terms used 100 years ago are so archaic as to be unintelligible to modern audiences. "Sometimes you have to go to primary evidence - ask some old people what they remember," says Abate. "One of my editors lives with her 84-year-old mother, so she asked her. And she said without hesitation, 'We called it the Nineteen Aughts.' " Aught (naught is another way to spell it), is the Old English word for zero. It's still in use in Britain but it's virtually unheard in the USA except maybe when referring to ammunition size. So out with the aughts and the naughts. What else is there? Here are some of the terms floating around: The Pre-Teens. The Twos. The Ohs. The Singles. The Zips. The Earlies. The Primary Decade (PD). The First Decade (FD). The Voice of America, which broadcasts to more than 80 million people, is running a contest on its weekly Wordmaster show about what to name the first decade. So far, suggestions include "The 2K0s," from Israel, "The Pre-Tens," from Kazakhstan, "The Digital Decade," from Zimbabwe, and the "Globacade" from Ghana. Nixing the Oh-ohs The New York Times language columnist William Safire, a man famous for having an opinion on practically everything, has dodged the decade-naming question for 10 years. In his columns, Safire is sure how the years of the first decade should be pronounced: Twenty oh one, twenty oh two, etc. But he's not sure of anything else. "I have been calling the first decade of the third millennium of the Common Era the Zippy Zeros, but that is only a working title," Safire wrote in 1989. He advises waiting until the end of the new decade before deciding what to call it. "(I know) that's a cop-out, but I cannot here and now solve this problem for the entire English-speaking world," he wrote. The Futurist magazine actually did a poll on this in 1993. The results showed that most respondents (67%) prefer to use the Two Thousands, written 2000s. Nothing else - the Twenty-Ohs, the Oh-Ohs, the Double-Ohs, the Zeros - even came close. Cynthia Wagner, managing editor of the trend-tracking magazine, predicts the right term will become obvious just by frequency of use. "It happens when it happens,'' she says, pointing to the ubiquity of Y2K, or Year 2000, which now refers to the computer bug that threatens to freeze millions of computers around the planet when the clock strikes midnight on December 31, 1999. "It started out just a few years ago with a variety of names - like the Millennium Bomb or the Millennium Bug - and then it ended up Y2K because everyone understood it," Wagner says. And it fits in a headline, too. This concept apparently eludes the editors of The Chicago Manual of Style, the longtime style guide for publishers from the University of Chicago Press. "It says you should spell it all out as 'the first decade of the 21st century,' '' reports Phyllis Franklin, head of the Modern Language Association of professional English teachers. Roaring 2000s At least one major publishing house, Simon & Schuster, has gone on record: The new book by financial wizard Harry Dent Jr., is called The Roaring 2000s: Building the Wealth and Lifestyle You Desire in the Greatest Boom in History. Gerald Celente, a professional trend-tracker, says he's getting "loads of calls" on this question from befuddled reporters and editors, but his own choice of term came by default. "We're calling it The First Decade," Celente says. "What else can you call it? I haven't seen anybody come up with anything else that's quick and makes sense." Maybe that will catch on, maybe not. Even if it does, there's another problem: What are we going to call the decade after the first decade of the 21st century? But that's another story. |
