not in terms of decades in our terminology . 1990 was not part of the 80's
quote:
a period of ten years beginning with a year whose last digit is zero: the decade of the 1980s.
quote:
The decade of the 1920s runs from January 1, 1920 to December 31, 1929.

referenced interval is based on the tens digit of a calendar year, as in using "1960s" to represent the decade from 1960 to 1969

You're both right in this.
2001, for example, is the real "first year of the new millennium", not 2000 - but if you say, "the 2000s" then the year 2000 IS part of that.
So, it depends on the wording.
If you say "The eighties" then you're not going to include nineteen NINETY and preclude nineteen EIGHTY. That's just silly.
Really, though, is this worth this much effort?
