This is also stupid because the same could be said for a year and yet if I were to refer to something that happened on March 10, 2019 as "this year" literally nobody would say I was right.

I didn't think a post could get as dumb as the topic post, but this is a real contender.

Why does the Farmer's Almanac say the decade ends December 31, 2020 then?

This just in: Jesus Christ has risen from the dead to tell everybody to stop arguing about whether or not he was born on the last Christmas of BC, the first Christmas of AD, or sometime around 6 BC.

He has also decreed that anyone who uses "Common Era" is a nerd and deserves to have tomatoes thrown at them.

I can see the people on this board either don't understand chronological timekeeping to understand there was no year 0... or just don't care that they're doing it wrong.

I won't raise the issue here again. I will close the topic.

I mean there was no year 0, and the first year after Christ is 1, so unless you want to assume the first decade of the calendar only had 9 years, the decade should start at 2011, not 2010.

Youd think for being all powerful the guy would have had a year zero smdh

I just can't let comments like that pass by uncontested! That was just rude.

With any luck, GameFAQs will have realized that there was no year 0, which means the first decade AD stretched from 1 AD to 10 AD... and the second decade stretched from 11 AD to 20 AD... etc etc, all the way to present day.

Honestly, I was just trying to save you all some embarrassment. Was that so wrong? >:(

Help me understand why there WOULD include the year 2010... please? If tehre was no year 0, and the first year of the Common Era was year 1... then wouldn't the first decade be 1-10? and the second decade be 11-20? All the way until 2011-2020? Intuitively it makes sense to me.

Because we're not talking about "the second decade", we're talking about "the 10s". "Decade" just means any period of ten years.

Yes the 10s absolutely would not include 10 but would include 20

THERE WAS NO YEAR 0. The new decade starts with the year ending in 1, not with 0... we've been over this.

Yes we have.

Decade means period of 10 years.
2010s decade refers to the period of 10 years starting in 2010. It's that simple.

Here is another example for you.
I started a job in 2007. I worked there for a decade before I left. What year did I leave?

I left in 2016 of course because that is 10 years. Even though that period of 10 years doesnt end along with the calendar decade it is still a decade.

and the first year after Christ is 1

"most scholars assume a date of birth between 6 BC and 4 BC."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Jesus#Year_of_Jesus'_birth

But really, the only reason there isn't a year 0 is that Romans never invented the number 0, or negative numbers. They weren't very good at math.

The 20th century goes from 1901 to 2000
The 1900s go from 1900 to 1999
The 202nd decade is from 2011 to 2020
The 2010s is from 2010 to 2019

This isn't "Game of the 202nd decade" it's "Game of the 2010s"

No one is disagreeing with you, stop yelling. We're just saying that the first decade is obviously from year 1-9, second is 10-19, and so on until now where we are in 2020-2029. It's so simple a child could understand it.

Year Zero was obviously a Dragon Break, an epoch of nonlinear time and contradictory reality. The stars danced in the sky and the moon knew no regular cycle as the Sun grew iridescent and children birthed their parents. Judea was controlled by the Jews, Arabs and Romans simultaneously, and Rome was both at the height of its power and completely sacked. From this incomprehensible chaos God was allotted the opportunity to conceive his Son, and with the birth of the Savior and the migration of the last errant star did time resume in a conceivable form, and Year One began.
