January 1, 201016 yr comment_310822 Sorry, but I start with 0 not 1. You can start where you like, but you would be wrong The first year was the first year. The 2010th year is the 2010th year. We haven't finished 2010 years until the end of 2010. Report
January 1, 201016 yr comment_310824 You can start where you like, but you would be wrong The first year was the first year. The 2010th year is the 2010th year. We haven't finished 2010 years until the end of 2010. Unless the "first" year was actually 0. Going from 0 to 1 then is the first year. That may not be convention, but it is not wrong, only different. I hate following convention even if the sheeples think I am wrong. Report
January 1, 201016 yr comment_310833 Unless the "first" year was actually 0. That's the rub - there was never a zero year in any currently used calendar system Report

January 1, 201016 yr comment_310900 Happy New Year, Happy New Decade, and Fuck The Pedants -- 1990 was not part of the 80's; 2000 was not part of the 90's. I mean, sure, we can argue that we haven't technically started the 201st decade yet, but no-one calls it that. Report

January 1, 201016 yr comment_310905 Don't care. Decade starts in the 0 years. Suckit. When you count to 10, do you say 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? Report
January 1, 201016 yr comment_310908 When you count to 10, do you say 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? I turned 40 last year. Am I still in my 30s? That would be pretty awesome, actually. Report

January 1, 201016 yr comment_310914 The Chinese way is you're born 1 and every Chinese New Year's everyone's ages get incremented by 1. So if you're born the day before CNY you're 2 at 2 days old. Report

January 2, 201016 yr comment_310926 When you count to 10, do you say 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? Yes, but I've been shaped by computer languages, which typically do count this way. Report
