Beck - I've enjoyed most of his albums

Whether or not you prefer use 01 to 00 or 00 to 09 doesn't really matter that much; either way the point is to look at the last 10 years and think of things you thought were good about it.


Uh, it is not unresolvable it is simply a fact (as far as I know ). But in the spirit of the thread, despite having another year of potential crap, I will endeavor to answer the OP...

Uh, um, hmm. Wow, the first decade. Government, mm, no. Movies, yikes, definitely not. GW? Barely. Forge World? Yeah, Forge World has come up with some nice new Orky stuff lately! Music? Naw, it has been mostly stagnant since the mid 90's. Home Entertainment? HiDef has been nice despite the lack of Hi-Def broadcasting (yet). Personal stuff? God no! City of Heroes? Humpf, barely passable. Champions Online? Naw, what a joke that turned out to be. America? Yikes, I plead the fifth.

So, I've come up with...

Forge World
Hi Def televisions
Lots of old TV Shows and Movies on DVD that were all but forgotten

Gee, that is it for me so far.

OH FOR 's SAKE GET OVER IT.

Does the week start on Sunday? Does it start on Monday? For some it is the former, for others the latter. A decade is 10 years. Even if we wanted to debate when the 'new' decade started it changes nothing from the fact that 2000 to 2009 is 10 years. But since a few luddites want to get into it we can a bit.

–noun
1. a period of ten years: the three decades from 1776 to 1806.
2. a period of ten years beginning with a year whose last digit is zero: the decade of the 1980s.
3. a group, set, or series of ten.


Wikipedia:

A decade is a period of ten years. The word is derived (via French) from the Late Latin decadem, accusative of decas, from Greek decas, from deca. The other words for spans of years also come from Latin: lustrum (5 years), century (100 years), millennium (1000 years). The term usually refers to a period of ten years starting with 0 and ending in 9. For example, "the 1950s" refers to 1950 through to 1959 (inclusive). In English, "decade" can also be used to specify any period of ten years. For example, "During his last decade, Mozart explored chromatic harmony to a degree rare at the time".

Damndest thing, an academic websites library lists the decades like this. Couldn't finad any Dictionaries or Encyclopedias that list the other way. Nor could I find any reputable Academic source either. Unless we are talking mathematicians. That is usually where this comes from because in math 'zero' means nothing so you have to start at 1. The trick is that in counting years 2000 isn't nothing, it is something. You didn't not exist. To put it another way, which was a part of the 1960's? 1960 or 1970? Historians would say 1960.

The real answer of course is that in the end there is no real answer. There is no universally agreed upon standard so stop presenting your side as absolutely right and a fact. The line had to be drawn somewhere and since I started this thread I decided for the purposes of this thread we would use the Historical scale.

Actually, whilst you cannot use Wiki itself as a source, most decent articles on it list further reading and sources, making it an ideal starting point. Kind of like reading someone elses paper, finding their sources, and improving upon it.
