- mokus 4y agoThat article only says it’s the first this century.
- plantain 4y agoAs long as you define century as 2000-2100, and not 1922-2022...
- quietbritishjim 4y agoThat is how "this century" would typically be understood
- avgcorrection 4y ago“This century” is fixed to start at 2000 until 2100, same as this decade is 2020–2029. “Last hundred years” for the former interpretation.
- Karellen 4y agoOr 2001 until 2101, if you're being pedantic about the Nth century AD/CE. (Because there is no year 0 in the AD/CE calendar, so the first century in the calendar starts in year 1, the second in 101, etc...)
- plantain 4y agoWhat? We had a triple dip in 1998, and before that 1976.
- soperj 4y agoAlso 1954-57.
