 the millennium does not start for 1 MORE Year!!.
 It will not be the 21st Century until 1/1/2001. not 1/1/2000. The 20th 
 Century did not start until 1/1/1901. Or do we have just 99 years this 
 Century??
 
 The popular press keeps getting this wrong.

 Oh, really?   You are assuming that the year number refers to the number of
years that have been completed.  It actually refers to the year that we are
in.  Yes, the 2000th year will begin in the year 2000.
