I was responding to an argument that ten belonged in the teens. These are *linguistic* terms, not scientific ones. They mean what society has them mean, and by the party metric, society deemed 2000 as the beginning of the millennium. I agree. It's all by convention. I follow that convention, and I am far from alone. > It seems to me that decades don't count the same way as centuries. > > In addition, with a few year uncertainty in the actual date > that christ [sic] was born, worrying about the difference in millennia > seems a little strange. And unnecessary. The "where's the party?" rule completely resolves the problem. If there's one thing pretty well established, it's that Jesus couldn't have been born on January 1, which was New Year's Day in the pre-Christian era anyway, nor even on December 25. So Christs's birthday has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion. Zero, like the year that began the millennium count (a.k.a. 1 BC). -- Lew
