2000s as a NOUN rather than a NUM?

[AngledLuffa]

In the sentence

# newdoc id = w03002
# sent_id = w03002048
# text = In the early 2000s, there were five doctors per 100,000 inhabitants.

The word 2000s is tagged as NUM, whereas in other treebanks such as GUM, it is tagged as a NOUN:

# sent_id = GUM_bio_padalecki-4
# s_prominence = 2
# s_type = decl
# transition = continue
# text = He grew up in Texas and rose to fame in the early 2000s after appearing on the television series Gilmore Girls as well as the films New York Minute and House of Wax.

Can I get some confirmation that this would be a good change to make to PUD? @nschneid @dan-zeman @amir-zeldes

Oh we had many discussions of pluralized decades. I think the latest thread is UniversalDependencies/UD_English-EWT#527

[AngledLuffa]

Got it, so, update to

2000s	2000s	NOUN	NNS	Number=Ptan|NumForm=Combi|NumType=Card

and look for anything else that fits as well?

[nschneid]

Yeah
