"If someone is 8 years old, she is in her 9th year, I would say. And what do
you say?" I agree. The number of years that have passed is 8, and this year is
her 9th. Christ is 2017 years old in this year 2018.

The (cardinal) number of years passed before the arrival of year number 2018 is
2017, which is 2 millenia, 0 centuries, 1 decenium and 7 years. So the ordinal
numbers are: third millenium, first century, second decenium, eighth year.

That's your definition, dot included.
My decade, like the one of most others, start at 2010.

Apart from 8 which should be a nine I agree on that.
If someone is 8 years old, she is in her 9th year, I would say. And what do you
say?
I get the impression that your fractional ordinals depend on your definition of
numbers followed by a dot.
OK, but we should be aware that you are off by 1, once and a while.
