1. Let's have a flame war - is the decade 2000-2009 or 2001-2010

2001 to 2010 would put it in line with how the literate count centuries, which are X1 to X00, not X0 to X99.

If so, then Newsweek is a year ahead.

2. Look at your watch

at 8 AM it means that 8 hours HAVE passed. Time is counted in the past tense so when the year 2000 started that meant 2000 years HAD passed.

This discussion is now over. Thank you for participating. Better luck next time.
