Poll: The New Decade!

[No_Remainders]

So, I'd like to ask all of you this!

Did your new decade start on January 1st, 2010 or will it begin on January 1st, 2011?

My logic is that it's 2011, as there is no "Year 0" in the Common Era Calendar, and as such, 1-10 is one decade, 11-20 is another.

What say all of you?

 

[No_Remainders]

2010. Would you consider 1900 part of the 19th century or the 20th?

So by your logic, there was a "century" with only 99 years?

 

[Who Dares Wins]

I think you're right. From year 2000 to year 2010 there should be aprox. 3650 days, which means 2010 ends, the first decade ends and so on. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Nimcha]

The previous decade started on January 1st 2000. So by rule, this one started 362 days ago. Approximately.

2010. Would you consider 1900 part of the 19th century or the 20th?

20th Century.

 

[Drakmeire]

last year the the end of the decade, you don't say that the 70's ended in 1981.

2010. Would you consider 1900 part of the 19th century or the 20th?

20th Century.

But then there's a century with 99 years?
1-100
101-200
201-300
etc
etc
1701-1800
1801-1900
1901-2000
2001-2100

2010. Would you consider 1900 part of the 19th century or the 20th?

20th Century.

19th actually. Last year of the 19th century. And the new decade starts in 2011.

 

[Random Fella]

Actually there should have been a year 0
This is because I think the days in-between count as decimal places and the years as ones.
Therefor since centuries are 100 years
0-100
100-200
200-300
etc...
1900-2000
and same with decades
1990-2000
2000-2010
and I didn't use the same year twice because it means the century end the day that year becomes and starts at the day the year becomes. (The decade changing point)
So 2010 was the start of this decade as 2000 was the start of this century not 2001.

20th Century.

1701-1800

1901-2000
2001-2100

Year 0-100, 100-200, ect.

OT: 2010.

Excuse me? A year 0?

Hold on... What's this? The Common Era Calendar began in year 1. There is no such thing as year 0. It went from 1 BCE (Before Common Era) to 1 CE (Common Era).

 

[Anarchemitis]

The year of the Internut.

 

[xDarc]

My only hope is people get with the future and start saying twenty eleven instead of two thousand and eleven. The whole new millennium thing is over, you can stop saying two thousand in front of everything.

 

[Nouw]

Year 0-100.

Of course this is depending on which calendar you use, so I stand with 2010 being the start of the new decade.

 

[Blue_vision]

If 2000 was the new millennium (and thustly the new decade,) then 2010 would be the new decade, no?

I think OP knows the answer and is trying to see how many morons inhabit the site.

I always thought it worked like birthdays and you aren't 1 year old when your born but you are when you have lived for 1 year

 

[Nimcha]

I think OP knows the answer and is trying to see how many morons inhabit the site.

And being horribly obnoxious about it.

Honestly, who cares? It's just an arbitrary number that holds no intrisic value, what is the problem if we just agree the very first decade had 99 years?

Oh amen brutha.

But it is the year 2011?

Two thousand and eleven in number.

Why should we say twenty-eleven? Yes I am aware we say nineteen ninety when referring 1990 but for some reason saying twenty-x as a representative of this century sounds odd to me.
