Sorry, but that is a common misconception. The previous millenium ended on Dec 31st, 2000, not 1999 like most people think, thus making this decade run from Jan 1, 2001 to Dec 31st 2010, a total of 10 years. This is because you start counting with year one and not year zero. However, if you want to cover a decade as a unit of time, rather than a specific decade (ie. the 70's, the 90's) you could choose games spanning from Jan 1st 2000, to Dec 31st 2009, it would just include one year from the "90's" and 9 years from the "00's". |
Decades aren't under the same restrictions as millenium we don't give them numbers we don't talk about how we are in the 201 decade. The 90 were 1990 to 1999 not 1991 to 2000. It is why people have the misconceptions about the millenium and centuries because when we refer to decades they do have a 0. Since we don't refer to decades going back to the year 1 just within smaller periods of time.
