Anyone who tells us (or you, reader-person) that "There was no Year Zero, so the decade/century/milennium started in the 'Year One'," is an ignerunt maroon. There were no fucking Yrs. Zero, or One (or 219, for that matter) until, what, the Fifth Century C.E. or so? (Julian Calendar. Look it the fuck up!)
The entire calendar's a crock. If we want to determine that a decade is from the yrs. XX00 through XX09, we're correct.
(We are in favor of getting the full sweep of recorded history w/o the arbitrary before/after religious bullshit: the Hebrew calendar should be adopted, as far as yrs. go. [Unless there's another calendar still in use that goes farther back.] We can stick w/ the Roman mos. Is it 5770 yet?)
