Didn't it use to be the case that e.g. 1800s meant the first decade of the century? At some point when I wasn't looking it suddenly shifted to mean the whole century. If we go back to the earlier usage we would call the first decade of the 21st century the 2000s (two thousands or twenty hundreds according to taste).
