the 60, the 70's, etc. Now what?
Also, are people still using the phrase "turn of the century". Becuase when I do, I have to qualify it.

"Turn of the century" could really be any century, so I´d rather not suggest you use that for whatever paper, essay etc. - anything where you´d have to be precise.
What I hear most is "the beginning of the 21st century" or just descriptions such as nowadays.. I´ve heard people talk about "the two thousands" but I personally think it sounds stupid.

The first decade of any century is officially called "the oughts," followed by "the teens," "the twenties," " the thirties," etc.
However, I admit that few people use "oughts" and that phrases like "at the beginning (dawn, turn) of the century" or "in the opening years of the (19th / 20th / 21st ) century" are more common for referring to this kind of decade.

The Two-Thousands. And the 2010's will just be called 2010's.
