| Ask MetaFilter Most hilarious comment by far. One blogger there suggeted Zeroes as a use for the decade name term and is one everyone immediately knows what you're saying! Then they ask what number has twenty zeros behind it? Answer HereHow do you pronounce 2008? How much does the Earth weigh? Feb 23, 2009 ... 6 sextillion, 600 quintillion tons - that is two 6s, followed by twenty zeros: 6600000000000000000000 tons! Says Trivia Factoids Google search results contrast gone in disarray though as every other known major search engine did have my name selection posted atop their results for eight years of this and what is unfolding next to be a decade or longer search, with full knowledge in an academic sense that I had redirected the simple if overlooked, riddle answer to the decade name online poll and search. The comments and the blogs now go on and on endlessly which I find amusing reading all the remarks and probably can figure it goes I can only enlarge my forum and outcome in my favor with everybody filing into the Q&A's if not anymore a literal conundrum but a social concern. Click George  Smart Tip On Page! AnswerBag Pronounce 2008  Hereafter is content I pasted over at Blogcritics, which oddly links from Wikipedia who has everything and nothing about this story formalized. Namely that poll consultant Editors (IN Chief) of MW Dictionary and OE Dictionary submitted in year 1999 that the riddle answer would come out from popular culture and my "decade name" (search inquiries at major search engines) title "20 zerOs subsequently has been on every first page result since.'Os or ZerOs - 20 of them if you count them and yes 2000 - 2009 is one full decade but this decade lexicographically correct is from 2001 - (through) 2010 and if even there's too much strong debate for now about that the term "twenty" (20) still represents the first word of the 2 word term when we consider that 20 represents the hundred of years as did nineteen (19) in 1990's represent the nineteen hundreds. There's agreeably several misnomers on this storied topic but anyone who's read in America's culture knows the vernacular. For example "The Nineteen Hundreds" also is called the "Twentieth Century." Who knows a fast answer to that but so what? It's correct. So 20 ZerO's or 'Os being there's a big fat O at the end of the word conveniently which supports use of the 2nd word for this 1st decade, of the 2-word term and Twenty (20) the 1st. On my forum at Twenty Zeros Forum I have debaters who then at the least argued their points in step with real objections. Would any of your writers care to address here any of these points above that I've just made? I still think the forum at Wikipedia is poorly designed while it's a novel idea to have public participation. Problem is what's edited as final now is being commonly accepted by Google and others as Bible. You know as final word on matters. I scripted together original material lengthy so much apparently that some databases are overlooking the comments which real are fundamental enough a first grader could easily understand the main points of my argument. At the last I might delete all internet postings of my story, which is every ones, and only publish book format for this story. I have no doubt with some carefulness at the least it will continue on as a document of public record though I don't everything and be first to admit. Today is over the half way point in this first decade of 21st century and is not time for a change course for publicating the first and only decades name brand (name), the 20 ZerOes! MY WORD - So far this last half of the decade Google has no longer got any search results posted on her front page search result for my "decade name," the obvious choice of minimal words for inquiry. I for awhile was under an assumption that Google needed to take bombardment cover for a loose virus somewhere out there called the Katrina of virus'.How poor or accurate the case for the fact that Google's search findings seem to be, at least in categories I research, off track completely with representative information. I presupposed the mega search index was using a sorted back up search engine until this virus was spotted and then she was going to unleash the boys to delete her and then reinstall her real engine. But if that's untrue, as unhappy as I am with Google's profile of my commentaries and websites here in this start of last half of the zeroes decade I discovered today Google owns blogger.com who set up the blogspot for the Zeroes. It's anybody's guess what's going on. I use to think the major search engines would just yank me from their results until they have consensus what posture and position my publication should phase over at result-time under the given that my web pages would surely likely phase onto front search page results but just what label of a historical input to this changing world and its cultures they would anyway want me to think I have to do an extraordinary job on organizing which is what I try to do. So anyway as their connection to the name Zeroes, and not rather mine, emerges more visible online I will update and or revise this post here for your pleasure. Their story about the zeroes goes as follow> What are the Zeroes about? Many people seem to think that this decade has no identity. They think the '00s are just a collage of the 20th Century decades, or a rerun of the '90s. Not true. The Zeroes is minimalism. The Zeroes is blank, bare white backgrounds, like this blog. The Zeroes is the iPod. The Zeroes is Britney Spears. The Zeroes is Eminem. The Zeroes is Emo. Numetal is so early Zeroes. The Zeroes are the decade in which rap went from being a very popular genre of music to completely saturating culture. The TV of the Zeroes is Reality. The Zeroes is CSI. South Park defines the darkest side of '00s entertainment. The Zeroes is 24 and Lost. And most of all, the Zeroes is Survivor and American Idol. Unfortunately. The Zeroes is the Blog, the very medium this page is on. The Zeroes is the retro decade, where everybody tries to act like they're from some decade between the 1950s and 1980s. The Zeroes is the decade of the idiot. The decade of the screw-ups. Take George Bush, for instance. Take John Kerry, who lost to him. Take Kobe Bryant. Take the biggest rock album of the decade so far, American Idiot. The Zeroes is the decade in which the coffee-drinking, carefree people of the '90s were shoved into a coffee-drinking, disaster filled '00s. And perhaps most of all, the Zeroes is the decade where it's cool to hate the Zeroes. Nobody watches TV anymore, or goes to the movies (and if they do, they won't buy food there). Screw this evil rap music, I'm turning on good ol' rock and roll. That music's shining with morals and melodies! Their blogSpot clic... Now I'll probably delete this soon 'f I know Yahoo! op-editorialists. By "they" meaning their dumb comments here (they) will grow broad with newer definition/defining - hopefully - i guess more for my sake than theirs. But anyway look at this>(they) Yahoo! wrote: ok what is this decade called? the most common thing I've heard is the 2000s but that's just a bad one. i mean in 500 years they wont want to look back and say oh that happened in the 2000's...but wait aren't we in them? and I've heard the term the "noughties". that i don't like just because its not serious enough for a decade that really had some serious events. also--what will 2010 be called? twenty ten or two thousand ten? I've heard about half and half on that one. and whats the next decade called? the teens? the tens? any answers for my questions? Note that NPR Radio assisted in the first half of this first decade of our new century and millennium with online audio report and requesting for naming this decade that you here may listen to: (click) and we express some thanks! |
