Question:In the 1900s, most of the decades were named after the last two digits if the number, example, the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, but these were all from the 1900s. What would 2030 be described as, since the 30s were already used to described the 1930s?

They would be the 30's and 1930-9 would be changed to the 1930's. Kind of how the 1870's were probably simply called the 70's by most people in 1895.

i think that we won't use that term anymore but stick with the full year.
Eg. '2030s'

the milli 30's!
