So there’s a thread for the 90’s
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/1990s
and for the ’80’s
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/1980s
so why not the 2000’s!
What memories do you have of our last decade? What was the best/worst part of those times?

October 12, 2012 12:51 pm at 12:51 pm #900263tzaddiqMemberwe never had a name for that decade, like we did for the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. The 0’s, the naughts, etc. nothing ever caught on.
after jan 1st, 2000, when it was confirmed that there was no apocalypse, the whole Y2K scare thing, evaporated like smoke, after months and months of unnecessary anxiety and apprehension.

It’s called the 2000’s.

October 12, 2012 10:03 pm at 10:03 pm #900267avhabenParticipantBy calling it the 2000s, it is difficult to differentiate whether you are referring to the decade or to the century.
When referring to the 1800s or to the 1700s people are generally referring to the century, not just the first decade.

October 15, 2012 7:27 pm at 7:27 pm #900272tzaddiqMemberthey are gemoras which are reprinted with a clear beautiful typeset, with outstanding peirushim/commentaries/explanations that assist in a very user-friendly way.
