And so we come to the end of another decade . . .

.
But what do we call these past ten years . . . the years 2000 through 2009?

We had the "eighties" and the "nineties." Do we call the past decade the "aughts?" Or should it be the "naughts?"

I would like to suggest, given the toll those 10 years took on Dayton, my city of gems, that we call the last decade the "aught naughts."

As in "We ought not have to go through that again."

I love you Dayton, Ohio.
