A decade consists of 10 years. If the first decade of the Christian Era, (screw political correctness), starts with year 1 then the last year of a decade if you wish to be consistent, ends with year 10, if you wish to be consistent. Besides when you refer to a decade such as the sixties you refer more to a zeitgeist, rather than an actual decade. Hell a lot of music people identify with the 60's actually was produced in the early '70's. It's all malleable depending on what you wish to measure, but given that a decade has 10 years and that we begin number at years with1 then the last year of a decade ends with 0.
So did the 1990s start in 1990 or 1991? -- William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
