This happenes every decade, and it annoys me every time. I do not know why people are so stupid, and why the folks in the media get this wrong every time.

a decade is ten years. NO ONE STARTS COUNTING AT ZERO!

yet, everytime a year ending in 9 is finishing up we get "best of the decade" lists and all sorts of stupid end of decade crap. fucking moron people. 2010 is the last year of the first decade of the 2000's. simple as that. people are such morons. The next decade does not start until 2011.

rant over.
