You arguement is wrong. When you were born you was zero years old, not 
one. Your second decade starts on the day you are ten years old, not 
eleven. Your second century wil start on the day you are 100 years old, 
not 101. etc. So if you simply base your arguement on the calender we 
use, then the next millenium starts on the first day of the year 2000. 
Finish en Klaar!
