So is 1940 part of the '30s? I know your getting that from the Millennium
crap that this millennium didn't start until 2001 and that is true
because there was no year Zero and millennium means 1000 years.

But that little jewel of trivia doesn't apply to nicknames we give
decades or even centuries.

Right. "The '40s" means the years 1940 through 1949.


And that decade was part of the 1900's along with 1900.
