							| I �ve just checked both �the noughties" and "the zeros decade" (only "the zeros" will include lots of links to a  music band). 
 Here are the Google Results.
 
 - Results 1 - 20 of about 644,000 for the zeros decade.
 
 - Results 1 - 20 of about 2,120,000 for the noughties.
 
 P.S.: I love Google.
 P.S.(2): Ok, I know we have to be careful about it.... lol.

							| Like Philip, I �ve seen the decade referred to as the  �noughties �. It �s common enough in the UK at any rate. 
 Shouldn �t be confused with the  �Naughty Nineties � (1890 - 1899)! 
 Looking forward to the  �Teens �/ �Teenies �/ �Tennies �....
