Of course it's a decade. Any ten year period is a decade. So, actually, every year starts a new decade.

Happy New Year, everyone!

To get technical, the decade of the "oh-ohs" (2000-2009) is over, but the first decade of the 21st Century (2001-2010) has another year. Semantics: They're not just people who can't get enough of Bewitched! wink

And Happy Twenty Ten! laugh


The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Exactly. And note that we much more naturally delineate the decades such as the 80s, 90s, 00s, etc. Nobody in ordinary contexts refers to the 210th decade, which of course doesn't start for another year.

With centuries we tend to think of them as the 19th, 20th, 21st centuries much more naturally, which leads to confusion, because these don't correspond to the 1800s, 1900s, 2000s.

1900 is the first year the 1900s, while it is the last year of the 19th century. 1901 begins the twentieth century, but it is the second years of the 1900s.
