You can tell your children of the day when everyone looked up and realized that they were only tenants of this world. We have been given a new lease and a warning from the landlord.
i just don't understand why there's always somebody who wants to score nerd points with this pedantic technical correctness. the psychologically important thing is the rollover of that tens digit, not whether the calendar started at 0 or 1 2000+ years ago.
No one is celebrating the ten-year anniversaries of the first day in our calendar system. It's about when the tens place in the number changes, nothing more.
Wow, I was just making an observation that could be used as a simplified counterpoint anytime some one brings up a "there was no year 0" response to the changing of a decade.
No way man, girls at a NYE party totally find it sexy when you tell them they are stupid for thinking that the decade ends that night. They'll be practically throwing pussy at you left and right.
There are things worth being right about. This is not one of them.
