I am a regular reader of your column and it distresses me that you get something so simple wrong. You say, "The end of 2001 was the first year of the decade". That is untrue. The end of 2000 is end of the first year of the decade. The first year of the decade is from first day of the decade, midnight of Dec 31, 1999, the 0 of the decade, and the millenium. The first tick of the clock of the new millenium is the 0-to-1 second; the end of the first second.
