Speaking of decades, after the year 2000 bug totally obliterates all known

I know I can type it as: "You know, the 00's really suck!" But how the
heck
are we supposed to pronounce it? I think I have stumbled upon an even
bigger problem than the Y2k problem was ever forseen as!
Well, older southern men in the US used to say, for example, "19 ot 6"
for 1906. So I guess we could revive that in 2006 and say "20 ot 6". But
this has nothing to do with the original question.
