> 2000ies

Now this is interesting. I've seen a lot of "40ties", "90ies", etc around, and I'm not sure why people do that. But once you've done it, it's clear how to read the text. Most of the non-numeric suffix is redundant; people mean "forties", not "forty-ties".

But "2000ies" has no potential redundancy and no plausible pronunciation. It's spelled as if you're supposed to pronounce it "two thousandies", but there's no such thing as a thousandy.

I enjoyed your analysis.

I think people should really just be putting 's on the end, then it works for all:

40's, 50's, 2000's.

The apostrophe is unecesary, but IMO without it it looks like the 's' is a standard unit of measurement:

40s, 50s, 2000s
