The zeroes.
Oh and, buy the way. The so called 'millennium' started in 1st January 2001. A 'millennium' is a word that means ' a period of 1,000 years'. The first year AD was year 1 so the complete 1st millennium ended after year 1,000. The second started on 1st January 1,001 and ended on the last day of 2,000.

I unquestionably have completely puzzled that. interior the turn of the 20 th century, 1900-1910, they reported, "The ot years" like 19-"ot"-5, 19-"ot"-8. We nevertheless say "2 thousand six"...yet some information anchor adult males say "twenty oh six". So? in keeping with risk we are the "oh's", "ot's", yet i won't be in a position to work out it being the "hundreds". confusing!!

How about the "ohs", as in this year being 06 (oh-six)?
So 20 years from now, we can all sit around the campfire and trade stories about what we were doin' back in the ohs...

We call it two-thousand, or for PC teck nerds such as myself - "Y2K" (That's Year Two-Thousand) Because it just sounds stupid to say the zero's - Come on - this makes me think twice about "There is no such thing as a stupid question"

Correct way, not certain.
