2010

Remember kids... 2010 is not the first year of the decade. It's the last year of the decade. You still have to wait one more year to fix all your self-inflicted problems with a clean ten year slate.

Having said that... have a safe one!

Does that mean in the year 2000 we were still in the '90s since that was th name of the decade?

Chandler said...

no. it means in 2000 it was still the 20th century and the 200th decade.

calling something the 90's is ok since it's still a ten year span of 90-99... but that span overlaps two decades.

it's almost like miles and kilometers. just different measurements.
