Oh, do shut up with that. did they have to put up with this nonsense in
1900 when they celebrated the start of the 20th century too? Deal with it,
people are not logical and the fact that the 19 switched to a 20 is all
that matters. Since the dating system is not based on some physics law,
but on arbitrary assignment, the majority opinion that we've entered the
21st century applies, and you guys can just go back to your calculators and
quit pestering us about it!!
It's not as if the dating system was begun at year 0 or anything.
I hope this doesn't go on all year!
