To all those foolish humans who think that 2010 is the last year of a decade, I hope you soon understand your problems. When a song is released in 1970, it is not thought of as a “60’s song”, it is thought of as a “70’s song”. Satellite radio backs this up (70’s on 7 includes songs from the 70’s). Also, your feeble attempt at a point stating that 0 was not the new millennium, it is! 0 is not considered B.C. or B.C.E.! Although 0.000 is not anything (B.C., or A.D), 0.0001 is A.D., which is still in the first day of the year 0. Also, let’s take the year 1764. “4” is is in the ones, “6” is in the tens, “7” is in the hundreds, and “1” is in the thousands. When people say “the sixties”, they are talking about the 6th group of the tens. Therefore, when you get to 1970, it is no longer the 60’s, it is the 70’s.

You were right up until the you said the sixties are the sixth group of tens. They’re not, they’re actually the seventh group of tens – you completed the sixth group of tens in the 50’s. Think of the first numbers 1-10. What group of tens is that? The first. The second group is the teens, and so forth. Do this all the way up to the 60’s and you’ll see what I mean.
I agree though, everyone normal considers a date change like that to be the start of a new decade or millenium.
The Gregorian Calender started at year one, not year 0, regardless of math. 2001 was the millennium, not 2000.
Technically, any span of 10 years is a decade…so as long as we are consistent with when we want one to start there shouldn’t be any confusion.
multiply the number of sevens in your bitch by the times per day you run your fingers through your hair and that would be approximately how long the stick shoved up your arse is in inches.
i’ve told you people a million times not to exaggerate:)
I just assume years ending with zero are considered the start of a new decade so as not to confuse the dumbasses of the world.
you are all fucked. Who gives a shit? I don’t care if I die in 2012, 2013 or tomorrow. just have some fucking fun and don’t worry about death. we all die sometime.
Who gives a shit what year it really is? So we might die in 2012, 2013 or today? The dumbasses of the world are the ones who argue about when the world will end, instead of living life to the fullest untill the world ends. Stop bitching and have some fun!!!
Sorry “The Big X”, I didn’t realize that. My mistake.
I smell an “off by one error”.
I don’t think they actually lived out year 0…
hence the natural need for people to start counting one, two, three….
meaning the counter ticks over when one is reached.
And so this is still the end of the last decade assuming your starting point is when the calendar flipped over to Anno Domini (which it was in your post).
life would have been easier if computers were around back then… all starting with zero and shit.
