Balder Mørk writes:: Also, people living 200 years ago had the amazing ability to actually count, and they knew that the new century started at january 1st, 1801. It was generally agreed that a century consisted of 100 years, not 99 like the 20th century apparently did.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

shawn writes:: NO! The twentieth century did not have only 99 years. Depending on how you look at it, it would either include 1900 or 2000, either way making it contain 100 years.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

notbob writes:: Sorry to nit pick, but isn't this the place for it? A new millennium happens every second. Just because the year doesn't end in 000 doen't mean a thousand years have happened from some time a thousand years ago; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

nennius writes:: If Ichabod was using the Gregorian calender,as I assume he was,he wouldn't be talking about a "new millenium" since 800AD or 200BC. He was indeed confusing a century with a millenium, so it was a slip-up.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

nennius writes:: Okay,if notbob was quibbling about the title rather than the error, I'll withdraw the objection.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?
