Quote:I also think some people are pretty anal, or used to be, about the whole "2001 was the new millenium, not 2000".
Bah, 2001 WAS the new millenium, not 2000!
Quote:Further, if you say that 2001 is the new millenium, you have to say 1901 was the start of the 20th century, not 1900, and that the upcoming year 2011 is the new decade, not 2010.
Yeah, I know, I thought of that, and it is kind of annoying. We should just retroactively change all dates and fix things so that we account for the missing year... :D
