2kx
Remember 1998, 1999 when everybody wondered what we would call the years of the new millenium? OK maybe it was just me. Well I think that it's clear that the colloquial way is generally accepted to be the 2ks, especially if you are a techie or a gamer. We're leading the pack anyway so get over yourselves and follow.
So now we are in 2k3 and next year will be 2k4. If you don't believe me, write 2k3 in the date field of the next check you write. The bank will honor it.

I'm just glad we've got a break from the whole 70s, 80s, 90s thing.

Maybe it just marks me as hopelessly antediluvian, but I prefer "the Double Oughts".

I have a few friends still asking why the sports games on PS2 are like 2k2, 2k3 and whatnot. I just laugh and walk away, because I don't know what planet they're on.
As for the checks, I'm doing that from now on - good call.
