    would now be a bad time to mention that the decade runs from 2001-2010?

    @Bouncy Phillips: Decades are every 10 years. Calendar started in Year 1 not Year 0. You do the math.

    @Hit Bull Win Steak: Technically, a decade is any 10-year span. 1994-2003 is a decade. Nobody considers 1980 to be part of the '70s, or 1990 to be part of the '80s, etc. The first 10 years of the 2000s is a decade - the '00s.

    @Hit Bull Win Steak: Unless you think 1930 was part of the Roaring 20's, then shut up. And if you think 1930 was a part of the roaring 20's, then still shut up. Decades run off the tens digit. #deadspindecadium

    @Hit Bull Win Steak: Calendar started in Year 1 not Year 0.

    Actually the calendar didn't get invented till the 16th century so the debate over what the official first year was is completely subjective. #deadspindecadium

    @Andy Davenport: If you confuse actual mathematic decades with pop culture constructs like "The Roaring 20's" then just shut up. And go back to Facebook and farkle youself while you're at it. . #deadspindecadium

    @sicksteanein: regardless of when it happened it was still theoretically back dated to a hypothetical Year 1 and then counted forward. There was never a Year 0 even hypothetically. #deadspindecadium

    @citizentino: I'm talking about the actual mathematical, scientific decade. You're confusing that with constructs of mass marketing that lump everything that starts with first 3 numbers i.e. "197*" out of convenience. 1971 - 1980 is technically the 197th decade AD. #deadspindecadium

    @LosDoyers: Technically the decade was 1981-1990. Again you're confusing a mass marketing term like the "80's" with the concept of an actual Gregorian calendar decade. Besides Will's article never said anything about the "Oughts" or whatever the hell the merchants of cool tell you to call the years that start with 200*. It was about an "end of decade" summary but it aint the end of a decade. #deadspindecadium
