The Nineteenth Century ended at the end of December 31, 1900.

The headline is correct, but the story gets it wrong.

You're right so many people get it wrong. I remember back in late 1999 trying to convince my coworkers that the 21st Century wouldn't begin until January 1, 2001. I even showed them an original front page newspaper that I have from January 1, 1901 that had a headline that read "Welcome to the 20th Century." Did no good.

Ugh Stop. She’s the last person alive who was born when the year started with 18—. Ok? Better.

No one thinks about like you do! I bet you put your seat belt on when you’re just moving around your own driveway!
