: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL....AND HAPPY NEW MILENIUM...
: Gregorio ..from Colombia.
Once again... the second millennium (A.D.) won't be over
before the year 2000 is over.
The calendar was defined to start with year 1, so a millennium
includes the closing x000.
To compare: There are 20 bottles in a beer cage. The last
bottle is number 20, right? The next cage starts with #21.
Anyway, yes, Merry Xmas, and a happy year 2000.

If it lasts the whole year, it'll be worthwhile.
Joseph K. Horn
That's 100% pure hooey. And here's why.
A millennium is a thousand years, right?
Therefore, EVERY MOMENT begins a new millennium (and ends an old one).
For example, from the very moment that you read this to 1000 years ago
was precisely one millennium, and the time from NOW until exactly 1000
years hence is also precisely one millennium.
Therefore, the first moment of the year 2000 will also begin a new
millennium.
Just because it isn't precisely the beginning of the "Third Millennium"
is no reason not to have a blow-out New Millennium party!!! ;-)

Hey, I said A.D., which should be clear enough.
Anyway, we are in (or near) 2752 A.U.C., or 1420 Islamic,
or 5760 Jewish, or, if I have it right,
today's Mayan Long Count is 12.19.6.14.16.
Party whatever you want, whenever you want.
Celebrate that round number (in our modern decadic system).

They're making fun of the US government, with the Republican and Democratic
parties. The joke is that they're also referring to the type of party where
you get remarkably drunk. The designated driver is the guy who's not
supposed to drink alcohol, who drives the car to get to the parties.

another explanation that lays within your own explanation, is that you
start counting bottles from 1, not 0 (zero).
As a matter of fact, the 0 was invented hundred of years after J.C died
(or was born I can't remember !!!)
So it couldn't have been used for the first year.
Therefore the first year was Year 1, therefore 2001 will be the year of
a new millennium.. But everybody except marketing people know that.

Those 35+ years are short, compared to the 1100 years or so that passed
before the 0 was brought to Europe (from India, via arab merchants and
scientists). It was clearly long after Dionysius Exiguus started
counting the years A.D. (with some years' error; late 6th century, AFAIR).

You obviously haven't heard of the traditional
get-smashed-before-the-first-party party
Al Arduengo
calendar, the first 365 days _after_ Christ died is 0 a.d. which was the
first year of the last millenium. ie the decades start with 0 and end in
9.

We start years in January, not at Easter.
A.D.=Anno Domini, also called P.C.N.=Post Christum Natum, i.e. after Christ's birth.
There was no zero when the calendar was defined.
Spell millennium with 2 n, will you? (derived from "Annus" = year) =8-O
(Getting increasingly off topic, sorry, and have a good new year.)

A lot of american kids were raised thinking 'AD' was "after death", in
which case, the calendar is off by some 40 years, and being in Latin,
the abbreviation would be 'PM' (post-mortem, or some spelling like that)
-- confusing since we use ante meridian and post meridian already for
time, leaving noon and midnight in dubious positions.
"Anno Domini" is "Year of the Lord", used in the same way as "Year of
King Bun-Bun's Reign" -- it's measure of years in progress, not years
elapsed. You wouldn't, for example, say "Zero'th Year of the Lord", but
you *would* say "First Year of the Lord". Remember that there is no
Zero in the Roman numbering system, which was in use.
Here's how they're related:
1st Year 2nd 3rd
--|----------+----------+----------+---->
0y elapsed 1yo 2yo 3yo
The calendar uses the upper notation; birthdays and stopwatches use the
lower. I have, for example, lived a few months more than 26 years; I
am, however, in my 27th year since birth. After I had completed my
first 10 years of life, I was in my 11th year; after completing my first
2000 (may I never see such a day), I will be in my 2001st.

I disagree that 1999 is in the twentieth century. According to its first two
digits, it's in the nineteenth century. Right?
Oh well, we have to agree on some things, although there is always another
consistent way of seeing things. The conventions seems to be that the "third
millenium" and the "twenty-first century" begin in 2001...

Ah, but the marketing people *do* know that. They just know a 2-fer
when they see one.
Y'see, this way they can have end-of-the-millennium sales both this year
*and* next year. They figger that no one in the mass market has a long
enough memory to correct them when they say that "everybody *else*"
thought 2000 was the beginning of the Third Millennium.

Not yet. But Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" is a movie I'd love

Thank you very much, but the millenium is in one year. (we
begon to count at 1,2,3,4... The zero year didn't exist.
So, the millenium is in 2001. ( like the century )
But thanks again!

Unless of course you use Common Era dates (CE) rather than AD/BC, in
which there *is* a year 0!
Happy 2000 anyway, whatever it is! :-)

I disagree. We've just had our millenium celebration. The definition has
been changed by popular vote. Practically everybody we know think's we're
in the next millenium as of now. They've mostly all heard arguments to the
contrary and believed them and just not cared. They're wearing glasses
shaped like the number 2000.
I suggest we give in since the whole issue is pretty indefinite anyway.
Either that or begin a holy war to force the world to accept our more
rational view.
