I've always thought it odd that the pop culture didn't adopt "k" as a meme to refer to years in the first decade of the 21st Century. After all, we spent most of the 1990s hearing all about "the why [two] [kay] problem" (Y2K). After years of conceptually thinking about the year 2000 Anno Domini in abbreviated metric (2k= two thousand [duh]), why didn't we refer to 2001 as 2k1, 2002 as 2k2, etc?
I think we should. Every decade needs a name like "The Roaring Twenties." And even if "The Ks" isn't quite as glamorous, we still need something at least somewhat numerical to use as a reference for this, our current, first decade of the 21st Century. Sure as hell beats "The aughts."
