But it did, by popular acclaim. There is no "real" millennium other than the 
day after whenever it was hardest to get New Year's Eve hotel reservations at 
Times Square. Prince didn't write "party like it's 2000" or entitle his album 
"2000". There weren't mass panics at the end of 1000, but at the end of 999.

I thumb my nose at those who pedantically insist that the millennium must 
begin in 2001 because there was no "year zero" and remind them that there was 
no "year one" either until about what, three or four centuries later, and no 
agreement on that for millennia after.

Nor did those early years begin on Jan. 1. So really the pedants should claim 
April 2, 2001, as Millennium Day, accounting for the Gregorian calendar shift.

And if thirteen years starts the "teens", then they start April 2, 2014.

Half-assed pedants; don't even follow through.

I'm'a go where the party at while y'all argue over when the millennium begins.

I enjoy it.
