Does it annoy anyone else that everyone thinks a decade ends in the 9th year?

Nope, 2010 is in the 10s but in the 201th decade. A decade is from year ***1 to year **10; the label "*0s", though, is used to encircle years ***0 to ***9. It basically defines the years ending in that or that.
Man this is getting technical
