We're just starting the 20s. I don't think I ever heard of the decade from 1910 to 1919 being referred to as the 10s, but I definitely heard of the 20s. Maybe the first 20 years of a century are kind of hard to name, so, yeah it's about time.

I'm pretty certain "teens" was commonly used to refer to the years 1910--1919.

By that time $2MM will buy you a Pepsi and a broken record player.

Many would pay decent money for a player that can revive broken records!
