I am not Xavier McKinney, so I cannot say for sure. But you are right, that most likely stung

It is NOT "True"! It is barely even debatable!

You are correct in that it "doesn't make sense". In fact, it is illogical to start a decade on 1 rather than zero. Number lines start with zero why shouldn't timelines and or decades.

I agree it is illogical but...
“ In 525, a monk known as Dionysius Exiguus set out to determine the date of Easter and created a system of labeling years based on the date he thought Jesus Christ was born (a date that's considered historically inaccurate today). But he didn't account for the years before the birth of Jesus.
That was done in 731 by a monk known as the Venerable Bede. Bede counted the years before Christ and established the BC era, but he didn't include a year zero in his calculations. Which means that the year before 1 AD was 1 BC.
Because there's no year 0 in the calendar, the first year was complete at the end of year 1, not at its beginning. By that same logic, the first decade in the calendar was complete at the end of 10 CE, or 10 AD.
Which means, according to the Farmers' Almanac, that the end of this decade is December 31, 2020, not December 31, 2019”

You can can post copypastas all you want, but you're still wrong.

Man you guys are making us look bad as a conference. I guess LSU will have to carry you this year, 63-28 that’s domination.

I guess Bama gets somewhat of a pass for having to play lots of backups, especially at QB but still wins the game. Good news about seasons like these is development of depth for the following season. I’d rather generate depth by rotating without injuries myself.

Based upon the dating system that we use to track years, I’m not wrong. But feel free to consider a decade any way you wish. Happy New “Decade”!

Still Fake news. Seriously, You got that off CNN and the fact it came out of a MISTAKE made 1269 years ago by a monk in the Catholic Church, the protector of pedophiles and Liars makes it even less true!

Yep, that’s the first site that popped up when I did a quick search. The info is elsewhere if you have any curiosity in knowing the truth. And regardless if the origin was a mistake or not, that is still the dating system we all use. And as such the results are what they are. The 202nd decade (AD) will start a year from today. Just relaying information. Sorry if that is upsetting to you

Wrong dingleberry.

Tell us, if someone was born in 1980, was that person born in the 70s or the 80s?

Decades do not obey the naming/numbering rules of the the way the millennium does.

Whatever 3rd digit is in the year, that's the decade it represents.

Yep! I was a devout Catholic for 47 years until last year. I know for a FACT that my Priest and the Bishop both lied to my family and that is unacceptable! Throw in the past transgressions, scandals, and the Communist Pope and I'm basically on a personal crusade against the Catholic Church!

I am no fan of the Catholic Church either. So on that we can agree
