I would personnaly write "fifties", since it is more interesting to learners...

I agree with you sacredceltic, but if Tatoeba is still around in 2050 it might be useful to indicate the century:)

(but then you would miss the fact that it was in the previous century ;-))

I accept that, by the way. I my Hebrew variant I wrote "fifties".

"nineteen-fifties", then...

My message came after Dejo's, so it repeats what he has already written :)

and I think canadian mothers stopped scolding their children in the seventies, already, anyway...

> In the 1950s, Canadian mothers, who scolded their children, called them by their full names.

This is a correct sentence, but I think what is meant is this (note the removed commas):

In the 1950s, Canadian mothers who scolded their children called them by their full names.
