Decade - English editing.

There are two possible pronunciations for decade: one puts the stress on the first syllable (/dek-ayd/) while the other puts the stress on the second syllable (/di-kayd/, like decayed). The second pronunciation is disapproved of by some traditionalists but is now regarded as a standard, acceptable alternative.
It is good style not to write individual decades with an apostrophe: during the eighties or the 80s, not the ‘eighties or the 80s.
