Decade Divas AP Style Through the Years 1990 1920 1980 1970 1930 1940 1950 1960
The Roaring ’20s Darling, you know what to do. There must be an apostrophe before the 2! Use an apostrophe to indicate numerals that are left out:            1920s -> ’20s    |    1930s -> ‘30s
The mid-1940s If you want to make this connection work, dear, you need to remember the hyphen! When “mid” precedes a figure, use a hyphen: 	    mid-1950s    |    mid-30s
The Chic ‘60s One is nice, but two is better. When you have more than one, just add a letter! Show plural by adding the letter s:    1960s   |    ‘80s    |    mid-’90s
