>I don't think it would be unreasonable to imagine that this decade could >revive the word "ought" for zero.I've noticed people keep writing ought, but isn't it *aught*? Ought for the auxiliary, aught for the number. BTW, my own preference would be to revive aught. One of my pet peeves is when people say "oh" instead of "zero." But twenty-zero-one (2001) sounds a bit cumbersome.
