Shoot on sight, please.
The current calendar begins with the year 1, not 0. That means year 10 was part of the first decade. This means that 2010 is part of the 'aughts' and not part of the new decade.

give it up. it's the same with people thinking 2000 was the start of the new millennium instead of 2001. it is counter-intuitive though: i mean you would think the 1900's would be the 19th century and 2000's the 20th instead of the 21st. just our crazy calendar system.

So then Year 50 would be in the 0th Century? But that was always a problem only the computer and scientific community start at 0.

No, the problem is that counting the age of humans starts at 0. You're not 1 year old until you're older than 1 year old. So, when it comes to counting things by years, people are much more used to counting 0 as the first unit.|

Meanwhile, calendar-wise, day one of 1AD was already year one.
So, there's two common counting systems at work and people can get them confused, although, we (reasonable people who know rudimentary math) have one the battle by getting people to call centuries by their correct number. Even though we're in the 2000s, people know we've already started the 21st century.
Now if we can only win the decade battle...

Rumors of Guardian's death were greatly exaggerated.

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.
I wanted to wish all the good folks of the Guardian server as well as your friends and family a very Happy New Year. May 2010 bring you all good health, joy and happiness to each of you and your families and friends.
All the best
