Not just a new year, but a new decade

People are free to define decades however they want, and no one says they are in their 30's when they are still 29 and no one says 1990 was part of the '80's.  You had a point 20 years ago when people were talking about the beginning of the 21st century, but you don't now. 

The ironic thing is that I do believe you were one that argued this very point when we talked about the Bengal's decade of the 90s. Asserting the 2000 was actually part of the 90s decade.

WTS, poor taste on all parts to start a Symantec debate over your thread meant to simply be one folks folks to share their experiences.

As to me: The 10s were the first decade in my life that I lived in the same house all decade. Growing up I went to 8 different schools in 12 years. My dad was always getting transferred. Then as an adult I joined the military and 3-4 years is about as long as you stay anywhere. I retired from Active Duty in 2006 and settled in a community outside of FT Knox.
