New Year and New Decade predictions

[major]

I hate to blow your bubbles, but the new decade starts January 1, 2011. It's back to the fact that there is/was no year 0.

No bubbles busted on my end. The majority of people, myself included, are celebrating this year as the start of a new decade. Because it's the end of a ten year span that encompassed all years that began with 2-0-0. ;D

yeah then tell everyone who celebrated the end of the Millenium, 20th Century and stuff in 1999'. Decades have always from what ive believed go from 0 to 9 thus making this the 2nd decade of the 21st Centrury

It's really quite simple. There are 10 years per decade. The first year is year 1 not 0. So the tenth and final year of a decade is 10. It is the difference between Whole Numbers and Natural Numbers. The Natural Numbers start with the number 1. If the press can't get something as simple as this correct, how can they expect us to believe them in complex matters? I am a UC Math teacher, so what I am telling you is correct.

Lol! I guess this is one of those times where you may b right, but nobody cares and no opinions will be changed one way or the other.
With that said, Happy new decade!

Oh, and another reason why WLW *will* move to FM eventually is, many devices IE Ipods/new phones only have FM radios. Unless you're in a car, you're more than likely not going to be listenning to AM radio in the very near future

Well then tell everyone else that including all the national media who said were in a new Decade. and the fact the new millenium began in 2000 according to the media then. because rememeber everyone had the Huge Y2K scare when we went from 1999 to 2000.

The media wasn't technically correct about the millennium, it started in 2001, it's just easier to do it with 2000. The Y2K thing was about computers dealing with the "00" at the end of the date, it didn't have anything to do with the millennium.
