I'm not arguing that 2010 should be part of the aughts, but there is a comical amount of begging the question going on itt

every year starts a new decade. 2010 starts the decade of 2010-2019.

the "no year 0" nits should jump in a grease fire since those years were arbitrarily labelled centuries after they happened. its not like jesus popped out and joseph flipped his calender to year 1.

People who are claiming that the answer is no because there was no year 0 are not just pedantic nits, but pedantic nits of the worst kind: pedantic nits who are wrong because instead of knowing what they're talking about, they heard about some obscure idea from someone smarter than themselves, and now they just want to brag about it by applying the concept in a place where it obviously does not belong.

We are not asking whether 2010 belongs in the 201st decade since the traditional placement of the birth of Jesus. We are asking whether 2010 belongs in a set of 10 years called the "2010s." Unless you are stupid, the answer is obviously yes.

How can 2000 start the decade and not the millennium?
Concede one to the rational.

If you fail to recognize that there was no year 0 and that the calendar went from 1 BC to 1AD, then yes. Incidentally, you should also opt for the grease fire option.
Ummm

This was a little obscure even for me, but the quoted post is pure crystallized correctness. They just remember how 2000 wasn't part of a new millennium.

Where is the 'No, because it's not'.

Poll choices are skewed in favor of your opinion.

decade

/dekkayd/

• noun a period of ten years.

Every single second (or really any new time), a new decade starts.

It makes sense that we haven't completed 2010 years until the end of 2010, just like year 3 of college takes place after only 2 full years have passed.

Of course, it's dumb to use that as an argument for how these numbers should be grouped.

All dates are completely arbitrary anyway and lumping 10-19 together as a decade is way more consistent with how we've been labeling decades than any other way, so ya that's it.

I hope when Skynet becomes operational (should be soon since 2010 is the future after all) they send a terminator back to rape whoever decided there'd be no year 0.

2010 starts a new decade but not the 201st decade (2011 starts it); just like the year 2000 starts a new millennium, but not the third one.

We can talk about the ninety's and refer to the period from 1990 to 1999; it is a decade so we can call it that, it's not the 199th decade though.

Language is ambiguous and op just discovered it. Yay!
