2010 counts as the next decade. If that where true the year 2000 would have counted as the part of the 90's 
Technically it was. And also part of the 20th century.
There was no year 0. So the first decade AD was years 1 - 10. The first century 1 - 100. Etcetera...
Well that just sounds stupid cause then other years that start with a zero are there for wrong  Perhaps, but GSyren is correct. Because we went from 1 BC directly to 1 AD, each decade, century and millenium begins with a one and ends with a zero. We celebrated the new millenium a year early as it didn't start until 01/01/2001...but it's an odd number so most people ignore that little fact. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
One of my favourites. It's because it's a (much more expensive) remake of Crociati (2001) a TV production with a lot more love for the fine details. In my eyes "Kingdom of Heaven" is the second worst film Ridley Scott ever made (only topped by "A Good Year" which already sounds like a commercial for a tyre company) | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

It seems to be mainly because of the techno generation and the way that computers count that most assume that the decades run 0-9 rather than 1-10 | | | <---------Mithrandir, Laverne and Shirley
