Last person born in 19th century dies

[MrWayne]

Hello everyone, i'm silently reading this forum for quite a while and finally decided to make an account, so this is my first post on VGChartz.

As someone mentioned before the Gregorian calendar starts at year 1 and not with year 0. Why is that so? Because the Gregorian calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in October 1582 and the concept behind and the nummber 0 it self wasn't fully intoduced/acepted until the 17th century.

So if it's true that this women was born on 4. Augst 1900 and we're using the Gregorian calendar, she was indeed born in the 19th century.

The Thing is, most countrys don't use the Gregorian calendar anymore.
countrys like the USA, China, Brasil, Russia, Germany, Japan etc. using the international standard ISO 8601 (first published in 1988). ISO 8601 is based on the Gregorian calendar but modified a lot of things like adding a year 0 (or should I say date 0?).

So by this modern and improoved calendar system, the last day of the 19th century is 31. Dezember 1899 and therefor Nabi Tajima is born in the first year of the 20th century.

p.s english is not my first language so please have mercy :D
