If any scholar can come up with a year zero I will change my mind. You're dead right about wanting this one to be over though. d |

AD decades began with year 1. d We had the same problem at the turn of the century. After all was said and done, we (as a people) just decided that the real excitement was in seeing three zeros in the year number. Nothing else mattered. |

I'd hate to have to remember that a song written in 1960 was really part of the 50's. |

There's always what I term 'decade lag' - the tendency for cultural styles(in attire, music, industrial design - automotive, etc.). IE: a lot of popular songs as late as 1962 still had a late-fifties style/tone to it. Bell bottoms did not completely depart along with the Hostage Crisis of 1980. |

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. |

Any mathematician will tell you numbers begin at zero, NOT end at zero. The mathematicians had a nasty habit of numbering inductive sets ending in ALEPH_0 starting with 1. There's a chronic fear of zero in the world. -- Les Cargill |
