>> Our calendar purportedly begins with the birth of Christ in 0 A.D., right?

This is crazy. Of course there’s 0 AD. There’s also -1 AD, and there’s also 3010 AD.

A decade is a period of 10 years. From the zero time AD, the 10 year interval completes 10 years thereafter.

All I want to know is how many days elapsed between zero time AD and what’s considered to be 1 AD. If zero, then the decade intervals are 1, 11, 21, 31... But if 1 year elapsed between time zero AD and 1 AD, then the decade intervals are 0, 10, 20, 30...
