THIS DECADE HAS ANOTHER YEAR TO RUN!

I won't celebrate until the end of the tenth year, 2010, unlike all the feckwits who went and let off fireworks at the end of 1999, the penultimate year of the last century.

no it doesn't..

2000 - 2001 - year 1
2001 - 2002 - year 2
2002 - 2003 - year 3
2003 - 2004 - year 4
2004 - 2005 - year 5
2005 - 2006 - year 6
2006 - 2007 - year 7
2007 - 2008 - year 8
2008 - 2009 - year 9
2009 - 2010 - year 10.. that's a decade..

judging by the ever growing national debt per capita ...
I would suggest the next 10 years just simply be refered to as the Bankrupties.

I agree with Rigidraider, this decade didn't start until the end of the year 2000, so we still have another year to go.

coljack is right.

consider a baby's first year. it starts at zero days old. half way through its first year it is 6 months old. at the end of year one it is one year old and so on. its first decade is marked at the end of the last day of its ninth year.
