Which is why the 21st century began on Jan 1, 2000 and not 2001. |
You can choose whatever you want for whatever reason... but if you make up your own rules and definitions, please don't try to push them in already existing and accepted definitions and distinctions.
The Gregorian calender start at year one and not at year zero, deal with it. Since every century is by definition exactly 100 years (not 99 years or any other number of years), every following century based on the Gregorian calender also has to start at xx01 and not at xx00.
