Decades start with year ending in 1.
We don't have a year 0.
The first decade was year 1 thru to year 10.
Start counting on your fingers 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 1st decade
11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 2nd decade and so on.
2020 is the last year of the current decade.
Going back we went from 1BC to 1AD.
Stand by for the arguments.
Anyway Happy New Year.
NOT a new decade!

Hang on I'll just get the TARDIS ready.
After you were born the next 12 months made up your year 1 not year 0.

If you go by the 0-9 method today is the first day of a new decade. So I disagree with you OP.loughtonos wrote: ↑Wed Jan 01, 2020 12:10 am Decades start with year ending in 1.
