Complete nonsense.
When you are born, you start life in your first year, not on your zeroeth year. Same with calendar years, and we count by the Gregorian calendar, no matter what the problems came with it when it was introduced.
The fact that, in general, people call the years 1900,2000 etc as new centuries, millenial, is exactly because most people are "nonmathematicians" so the colloquial (but wrong) idea is holding on.
