My Response to the Three Wise Guys

Below is my response to an article in the Washington Post. The article asks the Three Wise Guys, "What is the name of the decade we are in?"

Dear Wise Guys:

Your answers for the name of the decade were unusually.

I've been trying to get my name for the decade heard for nearly 10 years. My word for this decade is the Unies. This is because the numbers between 0 and 9 are all one digit. Uni is a numerical prefix from Latin that means one. It is also a prefix that means to come together to make one. University and uniforms use the prefix.

Now, this word can work with temperatures and ages. The temperatures are getting cold tonight in the low- to mid-unies. Or I'm in my thirties and my little sister is in her unies.

The next question would be, "What do we call the next decade?" The years between 10 and 19. Well, I have an answer for that as well. Call it the Decies. Deci is a numerical prefix from Latin that means ten.

Check out my videos on YouTube and see how I made progress over the years.

Plus, I lot has been written on this subject on my blog:

I would love to get some PR so any help would be great.
