Why are you in the twenty first century instead of twentieth century?

Because the 20th Century is over and done with.Think of it this way:Pretend that when they started counting years, they called the first year ' 1 '.And at the same time, they made up the word 'Century' to mean '100 years'.So, ' 1 ' was the first year, ' 2 ' was the second year, ' 3 ' was the third year,' 99 ' was the 99th year, ' 100 ' was the 100th year, and the end of the year 100was the end of the first century.Notice that the year 100 was the last year of Century #1, and the 2nd Centurystarted on January 1, 101 .So the year 200 was the last year of Century #2, and the 3rd Century startedon January 1, 201 .And the year 300 was the last year of Century #3, and the 4th Century startedon January 1, 401 .Jump ahead a few centuries now . . .The year 2000 was the last year of Century #20, and the 21st Century startedon January 1, 2001 .
