While a decade is not officially over until the end of the tenth year (aka 2001-2010) the 90's are (1990-1999) as the 80's are (1980-1989).
The two terms are not synonymous to each other because one is based on a mathematically relation to the starting point of a decade (1 as apposed to a 0)while the other term is a reference to a culture period in society (as in music, politics or financial results)..
Since the Gregorian calendar has no ZERO in it (don't start counting yet), we know that the first year (1 AD) started the counting, so we go 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (not 10 years is it?)
So if you think the decade is over, then you are saying that 9 years equals one decade.
But if you are knowledgable, you know that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 is TEN years. Ten years equals one decade. So, you now know that at the END of 2010 the end of the decade ends.
This also goes for the end of the Millineum. The year 1999 isn't the end. The end of 2000 is the end
I agree. Aion has much better graphics. Champions Online is ok, but it certainly isn't the best. Sounds like some favoritism taking place rather than truth.
I am happy Massively stepped up to the plate and recognized a problem with the voting. It would have been a hit on their integrity if they didn't.
Also, the Nemesis portion of Champions Online is a joke. It tells me that Massively didn't really play the game enough to make the correct choice. It's broken and one of the many, many bugs/problems with Champions Online.
