THE CENTURIAN FALLACY:
It had been the biggest fallacy to think that the 21st Century started on 1st Jan. 2000. In fact the 20th century ended on 31st Dec. 2000 and the new 21st Century started on 1st Jan. 2001. Century means a period of 100 years starting from year 1 and ends with the 100th year i.e. the year 2000 in the 20th century.
This point has been discussed and accepted universally by all the intellectuals however once again the disciples of the old thoughts have come up with an idea that the 1st decade of the 21st Century has ended on 31st Dec. 2009. It is a matter of common understanding that the 1st day of the year for the current century had been 1st Jan 2001 and counting ten years from that day gives 31st Dec. 2010 and not 31st Dec. 2009.
One fails to understand why media has been encouraging the obsolete thoughts without paying attention to generally accepted and scientific principle of periodic calculations. The reason that strikes to us is that either the media is not competent enough to count the days and years. Whatever may be the actual reason either incompetency or lack of knowledge one thing is certain the media has been successful in taking the best advantage (disadvantage) of the public euphoria.
Can you read?
Look, asswipe. No one at that 2000s page fails to understand this Centurian Fallacy, as you call it. Is the year 2000 part of this century or the last century? The last. WE GET IT and what's more, we got it LONG before you showed up. No one questions that.
Everyone here KNOWS there was no year zero, so 2000 belongs both to the 20th century and the 2nd millennium. But that doesn't mean that the year 2000 belongs to the 1990s, you dumbass. Decades, such as the 1980s, reflect a colloquialism, not a scientific calculation. Decades are DIFFERENT.
This has been explained numerous times on the talk page for that page, and you could fucking read, and/or weren't so lazy that your mamma still wipes your ass for you, maybe you'd know this. Just shut the fuck up already. Intolerance for Idiots (talk) 21:58, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
