You start counting from 2011, because the Gregorian Calendar starts from 1CE. |
Nope we start from the 0 now days hence why media outlets also do the same in classing 9 as the end the Gregorian calender has no bearing on this.

Don't be so sure. That depends very much on where you are and who you ask. In fact, the notion that decades end with 9 came only up with the millenium bug, where nobody knew what PCs would do after the clock rolls over after 99. Before, decades, centuries and millenia were counted from x1 to x0, xx1 to x00 and xxx1 to x000, respectively. |
All you've done is give the reasoning for counting from 0 it doesn't disprove what I said especially as 0-9 is what we do now days pretty much in most places what they did centuries ago doesn't matter as we never used to put the clocks back and forward before the war but now we do.
