Quote - Why is now called a NEW decade, instead of the last year of the old one?

Dunno.  To my knowledge there was no 0 AD, it was 1 BC then 1 AD.  You see AD stands for Anno Domini (or something like that) which means the year of our lord... year 1 was the year of Jesus' birth.  Thu this should be last year of of the aughts decade.

Chalk it up to our idiot educational system and general lack of common sense.  For example, I know a female who thinks that the milennium began in 2001 (correct) but decades begin on 0 years.  Her reasoning is that the first decade was only 9 years.

Idiocracy, here we come.

WARK!
