Here's a question...What are we going to call the first years of the
century?  Will we say it's "ought-nine" in 2009, or will we say
"oh-nine?"  Two-thousand-nine sounds too wordy.  What will school
seniors will say..."I'm the class of double-ought!"  Hmmm...Maybe
school administration ought to start thinking about this.  Imagine the
embarrassment when a graduation ceremony ends with "I give you the
class of...uhhh...double zero!"
