Hm, I'm not sure about that; while it's fairly established that
millenniums are 1-indexed (as there was no "Year 0" ... silly
Gregorian calendar), it seems that decades are 0-indexed (e.g., "the
80s").  Unfortunately neither of my go-to usage guides (_Garner's
Modern American Usage_ and _The Chicago Manual of Style_) says much on
the topic.  :p
