Hi Tamara and all
I would have expected all languages to be the same on
this. The reason actually is logical - if you were to
call the years from 1600 to 1699 the 16th century then
the years 100 to 199 would be the 1st century so what
would you call the years from 1 to 99?
Tamara is your memory of German as rusty as mine is
perhaps? (I learnt it at school and got a very good
result in GCE in 1961 but have rarely used it since)
I await Ilske's correction if I am wrong (and will
apologise profusely if so)
