If 2000 started the 21st century, then would 2021 be the 22nd year of the 21st century?

(quoted from post at 18:20:03 01/21/21) 2000 was the last year of the 20th century !!!!!!!!!

Thats not true at all.

The 1st century ran from year 0 to year 99. 99 years plus a zero year. Of course by our current Gregorian calendar.

The 19th century ran from 1800-1899.
The 20th century from 1900-1999.

And, thus, the 21st century will run from 2000-2099.

Its easiest to remember that you subtract from any century for the dated years...17th century = 1600s, 18th century = 1700s, so on and so forth.

You have to count the 0s in the century after.
