Wow this thread fell apart. People count decades as 0-9. End of story. It may not be the scientifically correct way, but it is the accepted way by everyone. The decade is what the ten-digit starts as, hence it goes from 0-9. This is the end of the 2010s, its pretty obvious that you wouldn't count 2020 as part of the 2010s as that makes zero sense. There is a difference between technically the scientific view of the calendar and what people refer to as decades. Here we are talking about decades, so the decade is ending in a few days when 2020 starts the 2020s. Please for the love of god stop debating this.

So your points:

- do it, end of story

-it may be inaccurate, but still

-it is not scentifically correct

-the other way around "doesn't make sense" despite being accurate

-there is no difference overall

My point is no one cares about the technicality of the calendar when talking about decades. Everyone understands decades refers to 0-9, all that matters is the digit in the tens place cuz that is what we are talking about when talking about decades. End of discussion. Now what was this thread about again haha
