Rob, it was the first year of this soon-to-end decade. Pretty simple, really.

so "normal people" are that ignorant that the numeral 0, nil, naught, the abscence of anything, counts as a year?

what I'm pointing out is that it is different things
The 20th century does NOT equal the years 1900
just as the 201th decade (ahah) does NOT equal the 00s

Yes
But the 00s is 2000-2009. The 2010s will be 2010-2019
The 0000s was 01-09 (yeah, only nine years: the label "xx's" does not refer properly to a decade but just to the years ending in xx!) , the 0010s was 10-19, etc.

Jesus was a carpenter, so he would have been good at math. This is believable.

See, this is why your 1 Day God is a lie. Plying these deep, foundational errors in your 1 Day model only further proves nature's harmonic simultaneous 4-day time cube. You are educated stupid and evil.
