I could see this causing problems. There are only a few of us on the board that understand that a decade is year 1 through 0, not 0 through 9.

I would have guessed the 80s were 1980 through 1989. You're saying that,s wrong?

Yes. Technically the 80's is 1981 through 1990, as the calendar goes. I know most won't believe me, but look it up.

a period of 10 years; especially : a 10-year period beginning with a year ending in 0

Because the common calendar starts with year 1, its first full decade is the years 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on. So although the "1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the "197th decade" spans 1961 to 1970. A decade may also refer to an arbitrary span of 10 years.
