Except...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade
"Because the common calendar starts with year 1, its first full decade is the years 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on.[5] So although the "1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the "197th decade" spans 1961 to 1970."
Great, let me know when VH1 starts showing "I Love The 198th Decade." Wikipedia may be right, technically, but that's not how the term "decade" is used in common parlance. It's one thing if we're talking about the millenium and all that, but that's not the situation here.
