Last person born in 19th century dies

[Zkuq]

Didn't we just have this thread a few months ago? Did we suddenly get a new person from a 19th century, or was the last thread about the last person from the 1800s? I'm fairly sure it was about the 19th century though.

The 1900's run from 1900 to including 1999.
19th century goes from 1801 to including 1900

With this logic, the 1st century goes from 0001 to 0100 and here is the problem, you are missing the year 0000.
Yes, there is actually a year 0000, according to the original gregorian calendar this would be the year 1 BC but we're not using the original gregorian calendar anymore.

As far as I know, the Gregorian calendar is the calendar used for many practical purposes, and ISO 8601 isn't used very much in everyday use. As a simple example, dates are not written using ISO 8601 in English. We write, for example, Apr 22, 2018, or 4/22/2018 (which, if you ask me, is a really bad format, but it's still used), and not 2018-04-22.
