It seems awkward to me to refer to the previous century that way until you're at least halfway through the next century. Even then, that's pushing it. Basically I think that way of referring to an era implies you're over, or at least fairly close to, 100 years away from it.
Early 2000's doesn't sound odd at all though.
Because that’s referring the 2000’s decade. In terms of centuries, I would say we are still in the early 2000’s and that does feel odd to say.
I rather meant how it sounds. It's in the "hundreds".
Two thousands.
Twenty hundreds.
"Early twenty hundreds" does kind of make it sound like we live in 2224 instead while "early two thousands" sounds like 2002.
I could have written it better.
Well you also wouldn’t say ten hundreds for the 1000’s. I think it’s just a quirk of the being the first century in a millennia.
Early second millennium CE
the 2000s* decade
early 2000s*
