Just what is your problem? It's not my fault that you make quite a lot of mistakes and I will correct them whenever I see them. I do this regardless of who is wrong and regardless of whether I like that person or not. You must be really insecure if you get so defensive when all I did was stating the facts. You know, pretending you're right while refusing to even look at what others might have to say is an attitude that will get you in big trouble sooner or later...

Also, I dont have to "try to argue" with you. LOL
You're simply wrong, end of story.

No, there is no year zero, just as there is no day zero, no hour zero etc. The first year is simply the first 365 days (day one up to and including day 365). If there was a year zero the first decade would have had 11 years (unless you say year zero started one year BC but that doesnt make sense), it's simple.

Correct. The *first* decade ends at the end of 2010 although all the other years in it are 'zero years' (01, 02, 03 etc.). There is no decade zero just as there is no year zero. See above.

I rest my case!
So facts don't matter if enough people agree with you? LOL. You won't be much of an engineer if you can't figure out simple math like that.

And yes, 1990 is part of the 9th decade, just as 1910 was part of the first decade. You can either talk about the 9th decade or about the 80s, they're the same thing. But the 80s are not the 8th decade. Get it now?
