A decade is a period of 10 years. Anyone who can count will notice that if you start at the beginning of of the 0th year and count to the end of the 9th year you have counted 10 years. End of argument, ayone else can go learnhow to count in school.

If you want me to demonstrate for further proof:

jan - dec year 0: 1
jan - dec year 1: 2
...
jan -dec year 9: 10

Vlad, there was no year 0.

Anyway.

As to the decade argument:

Decades, if we go by strictly technical terms, should end at, say, 2010, but this is not so because we have come to define decades as being things like 2000-2009. The definition defines discourse!

I realized this even after winning this argument before.

I mean the 0th year not the 0 year. As in 90, 80, 70, 2000. That being said if the decade ended in 2010 then we would have counted 11 years, not 10. Independent of efinition and things, mathematically it's still 00-09.
