I’m sorry for not getting back to you…I’ve not been online yet, this weekend until 5 mins. ago. Hope everything is going good for you. This is just my take on your question, but I would call this stretch of years…”the 20-odd years”. You know what I mean ? When you have two zeros in a 4-digit number like 2005 or 2007, they can be referred to as twenty-odd-five or twenty-odd-seven. Regarding a certain caliber size of a bullet 30-06, I’ve heard this number referred to as thirty-odd-six.

For example, the twin tower tragedy happened in “20-odd-one”. Get it ?

We met online on a site called “Yahoo Answers” in “20-odd-seven”, and in less than 3 years, it will be the year twenty-ten”.

So, I’m calling this decade the “20-odd-years” decade. Bye for now, girl. take care.

WHY NOT?

Well, not many North Americans are familiar with the term. Only those with a good vocabulary would catch-on.

A common term is, “Turn of the century”.

Especially few years from now, as in:

At the turn of the century the World Trade Center was demolished by an act of terrorists.
