Does it annoy anyone else that everyone thinks a decade ends in the 9th year? - Page 2

^ a decade.
it's not the first decade of the 21st century, according to the gregorian calendar, but it's a decade.

so what happened between jan 1 2000 and dec 31st? a magic nonexistent year! a superfluous, not-gonna-count year!

Rob, it was the first year of this soon-to-end decade. Pretty simple, really.

so "normal people" are that ignorant that the numeral 0, nil, naught, the abscence of anything, counts as a year?

what I'm pointing out is that it is different things
The 20th century does NOT equal the years 1900
just as the 201th decade (ahah) does NOT equal the 00s

noisereductions · 12.15.2009, 12:22 PM

but you agree that 2000 thru 2009 is 10 years right? Cuz 10 years is a decade. Right? Rob?

gmku · 12.15.2009, 12:26 PM

Yeah, but, 2000 to 2010 is 11.

Oh, this is fun.

Rob Instigator · 12.15.2009, 12:30 PM

1995-2004 is a decade

1832-1931 is a decade

2001-2010 is a decade

SYRFox · 12.15.2009, 12:36 PM

Yes
But the 00s is 2000-2009. The 2010s will be 2010-2019
The 0000s was 01-09 (yeah, only nine years: the label "xx's" does not refer properly to a decade but just to the years ending in xx!) , the 0010s was 10-19, etc.

Rob Instigator · 12.15.2009, 12:39 PM

who made up them retard rules? had to be some "poet"

SYRFox · 12.15.2009, 12:42 PM

Mister Jesus himself

gmku · 12.15.2009, 12:54 PM

Jesus was a carpenter, so he would have been good at math. This is believable.

Rob, yr Lindsay threads are far more interesting than this one.

See, this is why your 1 Day God is a lie. Plying these deep, foundational errors in your 1 Day model only further proves nature's harmonic simultaneous 4-day time cube. You are educated stupid and evil.

SYRFox · 12.15.2009, 01:56 PM

Man I love this thread
