minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 days agoCan’t believe we skipped both 0 BC and 0 AD. In all seriousness, we can define the millennium to start on 2000 and work from there. We already do this with decades and centuries.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 days agoJust happened to help my 9yo with his homework and they’re learning that centuries are defined as starting at year 1 and ending with a 0. 101 200 1401 1500 Etc
