So, at age 94, Art Linkletter is in his 9th decade! No one seemed to have trouble with the 1900s being the 20th century. Except for 1999, of course, when so many people insisted that that was the last year of the 20th century. No one could tell me though which century only had 99 years or why 999 years make a millenium.
Why don't journalists (editors especially) take a remedial course in grammar school arithmetic so they can catch these things?
