'Those ten after the Earth already made 2000 ellipses around the Sun after a randomly picked point 0'.

A bit too long maybe.

Ought to be? topic

I always thought the first decade of any century was called "The Oughts". A nondescript term, to be sure, but perhaps it could be seen as a measure of possibility and optimism, as in "what ought to be, or at least could be!"

I think it's best if we all just forget this decade entirely.

There was the eighties, the nineties. I personally call this decade the "oughties".
