1700s means 1700–1709, i.e. roughly the first decade in the 18th century. Just like '2000s'. The OP acknowledges this issue and then just ignores it.

- Viliam1234 2y agoI have a solution that would work in writing, but not sure how to pronounce it: 1700s means 1700–1709 1700ss means 1700–1799 To go one step further: 2000s means 2000-2009 2000ss means 2000-2099 2000sss means 2000-2999
