About period of years

We don't have a way to refer to these years yet, I'm afraid. The "two-thousand-aughts" just doesn't sound right. For now, you have to say something like "the first decade of the twenty-first century."

Thanks for the response. It there's a way of mentioning those years, please let me know.

I think it may well crystallise into twenty xxxx : twenty twenty, twenty nineteen. It is the first decade that is difficult - and that seems generally to be "two thousand and x".
