Not quite, most people think years that end in 10 are the beginning of the decade. This is false, since there has never been a year 0 then the beginning of each decade MUST end in 1 - not 0. So he is correct in the year, the 12 hours thing however......................
But then I am on US pacific time - still have a little less than 22 hours to go

I think we all agree that the 80s were from 1/1/1980 to 12/31/1989, and the 90s were from 1/1/1990 to 12/31/1999 (the clue is in the bold digit). It maybe argued that 12/31/1999 wasn't "technically" the end of the millenium because the millenium started with year 1, but it's undeniable that it *was* the end of the nineties. The noughties started the next day 1/1/2000 and ended the decade on 12/31/2009, after 10 years. We've been in the ones for a year now.
Even now, many hours after the thread started, it's still not yet 12 hours to go for someone in New Jersey

OMG ... I feel so badly that I may have (with my less than draconian mind) upset the entire universe and (woe is me) probably reversed global warming, too!
If it's OK with those in the know, can I still consider the end of the past ten years and start counting at 11 ? I promise not to tinker with any other laws of the universe or anything like that.
PLEEEEZE I AM BEGGING HUMBLY ...
On the other hand, for those of us on the right coast, let the count-down begin
Now ya'all be very careful out there!
