    This time 10 years ago, the legendary "How many years are there in a decade" was made by Yessir when he was under the impression that the year 2010 was still part of the previous decade.

    The poster SUBZER0ED has gone one shade more retarded and seems to think that 2009 was part of the last decade. When of course anyone with a literal brain cell is aware that the last decade began on Jan 1st 2010 and ended on December 31st 2019.

    So, the question is; how many years are there in a decade? Are there 11 or 10?
    - -Is this the TUE 51-0 cleaning up boxing and Mickey Bey 30x Testosterone decade or a normal decade?

      Right. I am aware what you said.

      So to clarify, you think that wins from 2009 should be included for what happened in the last decade?

      You know...the decade that started in 2010??!!!
      You are both correct

      There was no year 0 so the first decade in year 1, ended on December 31 in year 10. So, yeah according to that method sub zero is correct because the last decade started on January first 2001 and ended on December 31 2010.

      However some people count decades as if there was year 0 so according to that system you are correct

      It is a matter of opinion

        No you are wrong. There is zero debate,the decade started on jan 1 2010 & ended on Dec 31 20019 for a total of 10 yrs exactly.

          I agree with the principle.

          But there wasn't a year 1 either. Nor a year 2. And so on up to about 525.

          We made it up as we went along. So if convention says we count these decades from January 1st 2010 etc, then just go with it.

            So do you finally understand why 2009 wins shouldn't be included toward your accomplishments from the last decade? Or no?

                Except this joker is saying the decade spanned from 2009-2019 which is ELEVEN YEARS!!

                So we aren't both correct.

                    00-09 = 10

                    20-29 = 10
