Speaking of the 21st century. The way english speaking people say and write it, it makes no sense. We’re not in the actualy 21 century yet, then why saying it?? I’ve had a hard time with this ever since I learned it at school. In Sweden we say that we’re in the 20th century…since we are. And in the 1900s, we were in the 19th century, and so on.

Dunno about other countries, but in the States we calculate it like this:

0-100 = 1st Century

100-200 = 2nd Century

200-300 = 3rd Century

Etc., etc….

1800-1900 = 19th Century

1900-2000 = 20th Century

2000-2100 = 21th Century

I find it so confusing, lol
