: Also try and understand this: According to your logic this is not 1999 because it is not finished. So by listening to your reasoning we are still in 1998.
Uh. No. Our reasoning doesn't indicate that at all. We acknowledge that we're in 1999...and that we're about to enter 2000...our only point of contention is that the new millennium will commence 1/1/01 and not 1/1/00.
Year 1 was 0001 (or 1 AD, if you want to get all biblical)
Year 1999 is 1999
Year 2000 will be 2000
Year 2001 will be 2001
A millennium is comprised of a full 1000 years.
2001-0001 = 1000
How does that make 1999 1998? Maybe I'm just not good enough at math.
Could you wipe the spit off now? Pretty please?
