Once again the American education system has failed our children and their parents. And the American media has perpetuated the problem.
On the local ABC station evening news they ran a three minute synopsis of the last decade, starting with the year 2000. 2000 just happens to be the last year of the last decade.
2001 is the first year of this decade and 2010 will be the last year. But not according to ABC TV. Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve will be the first party of the new decade. I bet even Dick Clark knows that isn’t correct.
Where did these people learn to count? Or did they? Ask a person to count to ten and they will start with the number one, not with zero. Except when it comes to years. It makes no sense. Someone didn’t pay attention in math class or the teacher led them astray when tallying years.
And then these same people wonder why time passes so quickly, why the years just fly by.
The answer is simple. Y’all can’t count!
