The controversy is whether January 1, 2000 or January 1, 2001, should be deemed the first day of the 21st century.

The 21st century began Jan 1, 2001.

I know some think differently, including the happy merchants of Caroline Island of the nation of Kiribati, but the fact is that a century contains 100 years and not 99.

There was no year designated as year zero. Zero is a point on our time line, although it could have been arranged differently with no ill effects.

So, the end of the first hundred years happened at the end of the year 100, and not at the end of year 99.

cant believe no one thinks its the 20th century now we know why the us is at the bottom of education 21st means 2100 right not 2001
