2010 is the start of a new year. It is not the start of a new decade. Nor was 2000 the start of a new millennium. You start a new cycle with year 1, not year 0.

To pre-empt the "If that's how people use it, it's correct" argument, I offer this riddle:
Q: "How many legs does a dog have if you call a tail a leg?"
A: "Four. Calling a tail a leg does not make it one."
