Solution for 2000-2010: "the first decade of the 2000s".

I realize this is counting by decades/centuries again, but if we just do it for the first decade/century under a larger span it's easy to read.

nonetheless, typing out, and even saying "the first decade of the 2000s" takes too long

we need something shorter, like the double-ohs "00s"
