They had a statement from The Royal
Observatory in Greenwich, the official home of time on Earth. The
message stated unequivocally that millennia, centuries and decades

There are decades beginning all the time. The decade of the 2020's is indeed
a decade, and it's a decade that is widely recognized, worldwide. The Royal
Observatory's sweeping claim can only apply to millennia, centuries, and
decades that start on the year ending in one. There are many other kinds of
millennia, centuries, and decades in use, which are relevant and useful in
various reckonings.

If the Royal Observatory supposes that the decade of the 2020's is not a
decade, the Royal Observatory is a ass -- a idiot.

The official keeper of time on earth, International Atomic Time, is the
International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France. The Royal
Observatory in Greenwich is one of many important participants in that
effort.
