If B.C was before Christ and A.D. is after his death, what did they
call it when he was alive? :)

M.C - meanwhile Christ.

mk

I honestly couldn't care less when the new or next millenium starts or ends
or whatever.  It's just another year.  People are e***d about it because
the year now starts with 2 instead of 1 and that's really the whole of it.
The only people I heard yelling about the new "millenium" was the media.
All the real world people I know just called it 2000 or the year 2000.  They
aren't e***d because some calendar or other declares it is the second 1000
years after the alleged birth of christ or some other calendar says it's
not.  They don't care about that.  All they care about is that they have a
significantly different year to write on their checks or attached to their
new car or to refer to in relation to their graduation from college or high
school or as the birth year of their baby.  People are e***d because it's
2000, not because it's the millenium (or not).

Whatever.

Bzzzt.  Wrong.  The '90s ended on 31/12/1999.  The '80s ended
31/12/1989.  etc.  

: Therefore a century is from Year 1 to Year 100 and a millennium is from
: Year 1 to Year 1000.

: To conclude, the 20th. century ends at midnight Year 2000 and the 21st.
: century starts in 2001.

Wrong again.  There is already a good post with a link to an explanation
of the Common Era Calendar.  And indeed, these calendars are a product of
society's, and history's perception, therefore it is equally valid to
consider the millenium change as the day that most people agree it
changes.  Not when a pedantic number cruncher says it ends.

: That's not "counting", that's the digits available for your use.

: Open up a dozen of eggs and count them.  The digit "0" is available
: for use (you'll use it later, when you get to "ten"), but you don't
: call the first egg "zero", you count it as "one", and unless you're
: a total dolt, you'll end up at 12.

I opened my egg container and started counting.  Unfortunately it was
empty.  I ended up counting "zero" eggs.

Stephen

: Are you calling *me* a stubborn idiot?
: So how do YOU count the decade of the 90's?  With decades, people count from
: "0".  I.E. 1990 - 1999.  For the millenium, people count from "1", because
: there was no year zero.  1901-2000, and the next millenium starts with 2001.
: Therefore, there are two different counting methods, which would seem to
: conflict with each other.  Simple.  No need to get hostile.

When did we change to a hundred year millenium?  Is this to give us more
opportunities for gala New Year's festivities?  Or is it so*** Clark
gets one more kick at the can?

FYI Dave

Use capitalisation in Christ. It's a name.

Apostrophe in Don't. Not a semi-colon.

Only one "n" in enumerate

You call it tomato and I'll call it tomato hehe.

Sure I'm not perfect with my grammar and spelling but I do remember one
quote from the bible.

He without sin cast the first stone <BWG>

: Which isn't surprising, as you obviously have a big problem with
: comprehension ("a dozen of eggs", as I said, not "my egg container"
: as you so stupidly state.)  If you counted "zero", then you have a
: much bigger problem than being a roaring, flaming ***.

Lighten up.  It was simply meant as humour.  How you could see this as a
personal attack is beyond me.

I use lower case delberately to***off christians.  It's funny to watch
them get all bent out of shape when someone doesn't buy into their silly
fairy tale.

That's a typo.  I had a keyboard for a long time that had the apostrophe
where the semi-colon is now and since I don't type properly I keep hitting
it when I'm going for the apostrophe.  I usually go through and change them
all afterwards since I hit the right key about 5% of the time.  I guess I
missed that correction, thank you for noticing. BTW, you don't have to
capitalize a word at the end of a sentence.

I'll remember that, now.  Thanks.

But the important thing is that we can both spell it better than Dan Quayle.

Isn't that, "Let he who is without sin cast  the first stone"?

You forgot the comma after literary, too.
