Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy local newspaper asks: "What decade is this?"
Stupid question. You had the sixties, the seventies, the eighties, and the nineties. Then you had "the aughties" (twenty-aught-one, twenty-aught-two, twenty-aught-three, etc.). And now we have "the Teenies" (two-thousand-thirteen, two-thousand-fourteen, two-thousand-fifteen, etc.). And yes, it includes 2011 and 2012, even though they don't call themselves "teen", they're still in the range of 2010-2019.
Question answered.
(actually it was an article about fashion, but it raised the question, so I'm explaining it.)

Yes, I know it's not a full decade. Don't judge me...

We lost so much as a result of Dimson's reign of error, it's as if all those years just vanished into a black hole. (kinda like our 401(k)'s.......)
