Missed the point. There was no 0000 AD. It started with 0001 AD. This means the current century didn't really start until 2001, which means the current decade doesn't end till 2010.

So why were all those people celebrating the turn of the millenium December 31 1999? I know what you mean, but this is the way it usually works. When talking decades, the 80's is 1980-1989, the 90's is 1990-1999 etc.

1 game per series.

People celebrated the millenium on January 1st, 2000 because they are idiots. Whether the masses beleive it or not does not make it true.

The millenium began in 2001, the decade does not end until 2010. Professional media shouldn't make this mistake, but sadly they do.

Or you could just say bullshit to the years revolving around religion and use a standard method of following time, which is that when you reset back to zero it becomes the new time period.

When it's 00:01 (24h clock) or 12:01am do you still think it is yesterday just because it isn't 1 o'clock yet?

Just because there wasn't a year 0 according to religion, doesn't mean there was not a year before year 1.... which means it is a perfectly valid decade ending at the end of year 9.

Actually come to think of it, with recording years, there is no setting back, it is a continuous count upwards, thus the definition use of a Decade is just whichever is easiest to understand and use, that being the 40s, 50s, 60s etc.
(crossed out definition because a decade is any period of 10 years you like)
