Will the teens be less naughty?

We were debating this last night and we came to the same conclusion. We’ve left the noughties into the tens(some liked teners better) but we’re still in the same decade.

Midnight is over at 12:01. Likewise I think 2009 was over at 1/2/2009. But no one thinks that way so “2010” has started today.

No, wait-a-minit. 9years + the “0” year make a decade; so the new decade has started today. No matter what Walter Williams says.

Dr.Canuck, I ’ l l g o r e a l s l o w f o r y o u … 2000 is the “0” year and counts as one whole year; now add 1 to arrive at 2001; and again for eight more times and you arrive at 2010 and have collected 10 (TEN) individual years: thus completing one decade on 1/1/2010. ;^)

puppy - the decade doesn’t end until 12/31/2010. That completes ten years since 1/1/2000.

No, BCS that would make a decade equivalent to 11 years. Thank you for not insulting me .Bye.

the ten’s started in year 1, the nineties started with 1991, the 2000’s started with 2001, the 2010’s will start with 2011

^~Hahaha! Lib Math!

Remember, there was no year zero. When Jesus was born, nobody said “Okay, this will be our year zero”. Some monk said that centuries later. Zero didn’t even exist as a concept in the western world back then.

OK, we’ll try it this way:

1/1/2000 to 12/31/2000 1 year completed 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2001 2 years 1/1/2002 to 12/31/2002 3 years 1/1/2003 to 12/31/2003 4 years 1/1/2004 to 12/31/2004 5 years 1/1/2005 to 12/31/2005 6 years 1/1/2006 to 12/31/2006 7 years 1/1/2007 to 12/31/2007 8 years 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2008 9 years 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2009 10 years 1/1/2010 beginning next decade

puppy, you are correct! I tip my hat and eat crow

a decade counting from 2000 (I’ll admit it’s a cool landmark).
