We also group decades by saying the 20's, 30's.. I'd hate to have to
remember that a song written in 1960 was really part of the 50's.


Any mathematician will tell you numbers begin at zero, NOT end at zero.


As a programmer, I'm a subscriber to that view. So 1960 was the zeroth
year of the 60's The 60's was a decade that began Jan 1st 1960, and
ended just before Jan 1st 1970. The birth of Jesus has nothing to do
with it. No one said that we are starting the 202nd decade since then.
It's that we are starting a new decade that if of note to many people.
