Oh I have one thing to add here. If there's no year zero, then not only are the decades "wrong", but the year itself is wrong! It shouldn't even be 2008 right now but 2007! Think about that.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
