Oh and 4th prize goes to all those who insist on binding on about the
millennium not starting until 2001.
I bet you did/will celebrate your 40th birthday as a special one, not your
41st. Why?? The argument is exactly analogous if we follow the literal
meaning of AD. And as the actual date of D's birth is uncertain anyway, why
worry??

In view of the fact that everyone seems hell-bent on celebrating it a year
early that is not surprising... not only is its start date frequently
misunderstood many people can't spell it. <g>
