For me, the start of a new decade is the first moments of a year that ends in 1. But there are 365+ days before that new decade registers up the '1' digit. So it's the time space between the 0 and 1 that is important. The 0 is the start off point. The 1 is the completion. And so on.

With this logic, the 1990 World Cup was in the 80s then? :)

Programatically, if I set an array for days of the week and change the day depending numeric addition, I would use

n=0 to 6 to represent the array of {"Monday","Tuesday", "Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday", Saturday", "Sunday"}

If the number returned is 0 then that is Monday, if it is 5 it is Saturday and so on.

On Servers the first Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is HDD0 the second HDD1 and so on.

From 1st Jan 2010 00:00:00 to 31st December 2010 23:59:59 was the first time this sphere we live completed one fill orbit around that star in the middle. Give or take the actual 3 minutes and 56 seconds per day less than 24 hours it takes to rotate once on our own axis.
 
A decade ago simply means 10 years ago. The year you are in counts as year one.

Edit now the argument will start agin.... <laugh>
 
Ok, I’ve got it... so at 11pm tonight it is actually tomorrow....

Actually, you're not getting it. :D
You remember I mentioned that space between 0 and 1? That's important. So, using your favourite year of 1990. In the year 1989 and 6 months, we in the 1990th year. And when we get to the end of that year it will be 1990. In the same way, when we are on the way to 2000, we are in the 20th century. When 1999 turns into 2000, that's the 20th century completed. The first time period after that is the 21st century. So 01/01/00 starts our time in the 21st century.

You know what? I go away and do something totally different. [I've just fixed a hi-fi loud speaker bass unit!] And every time I come back to this for a bit of light relief I have to get my head right to make sure I'm saying it right. I think I'm clear at this point.
Wish I had some gin to go with this lovely orange I'm drinking. Oh well.:smiley-finger007:
