Decades Centuries and Millenniums
As adjectives decades, centuries and millennium are 10. 100 and 1.000 years respectively. 
When used as calendar references, decades, centuries and millennium have been misidentified because 
of the Millennium Computer bug. 
Those who celebrated a century ending on December 31,1999 were a year early. 
By rewinding the existing calendar format, the first day of the first year was January 1, 1. 
The last day of the first decade was December 31, 10. 
The first day of the second decade was January 1, 11. 
Last day of first century was December 31, 100. 
The millennium ended on December 31, 1000. 
The second millennium ended December 31, 2000. 
The third millennium began January 1, 2001. 
The Millennium Bug was due to many databases having allocated only two characters for the year field. 
The change from year 1999 to 2000 could be interpreted as one-hundred years to many systems. Most 
databases were converted to four characters where others had work-arounds. There was no crash. 
Tho Millennium Bug had nothing to do with the end of decade, century or millennium. 
Just poor computer planning and misidentification in the press. 
The Millennium ended December 31, 2000. This the 19th year of this century. 
The second decade ends December 31, 2020. 
The century ends December 31, 2100. 

Not unlike the misidentification of the 1917 worldwide pandemic as the Spanish Influenza. Only the 
Spanish press was reporting the problem when the world press decided to keep it quiet to avoid panic. 
Thus, it has been misinterpreted.
