Historically, there has been debate around the turn of previous <a href="/wiki/Decade" title="Decade">decades</a>, <a href="/wiki/Century" title="Century">centuries</a>, and millennia, but not so much for decades. The issue arises from the difference between the convention of using <a href="/wiki/Ordinal_number" title="Ordinal number">ordinal numbers</a> to count years and millennia, as in "the third millennium", or using a <a href="/wiki/Vernacular" title="Vernacular">vernacular</a> description, as in "the two thousands". The difference of opinion comes down to whether to celebrate, respectively, the end or the beginning of the "-000" year. The first convention is common in English-speaking countries, but the latter is favoured in, for example, Sweden (<i>tvåtusentalet</i>, which translates literally as the <i>two thousands period</i>). </p><p>Those holding that the arrival of the new millennium should be celebrated in the transition from 2000 to 2001 (i.e., December 31, 2000, to January 1, 2001) argued that the <i><a href="/wiki/Anno_Domini" title="Anno Domini">Anno Domini</a></i> system of counting years began with the <a href="/wiki/AD_1" class="mw-redirect" title="AD 1">year 1</a> (there was no <a href="/wiki/Year_zero" title="Year zero">year 0</a>) and therefore the first millennium was from the year 1 to the end of the year 1000, the second millennium from 1001 to the end of 2000, and the third millennium beginning with 2001 and ending at the end of 3000. Similarly, <a href="/wiki/1st_millennium_BC" title="1st millennium BC">the first millennium BC</a> was from the year 1000 BC to the end of the year 1 BC. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Popular_culture" title="Popular culture">Popular culture</a> supported celebrating the arrival of the new millennium in the transition from 1999 to 2000 (i.e., December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000), in that the change of the hundreds digit in the year number, with the zeroes rolling over, is consistent with the vernacular demarcation of decades by their 'tens' digit (e.g. naming the period 1980 to 1989 as "the <a href="/wiki/1980s" title="1980s">1980s</a>" or "the eighties"). This has been described as "the <a href="/wiki/Odometer" title="Odometer">odometer</a> effect".<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Also, the "year 2000" had been a popular phrase referring to an often <a href="/wiki/Utopia" title="Utopia">utopian</a> future, or a year when stories in such a future were set. There was also media and public interest in the <a href="/wiki/Y2K_bug" class="mw-redirect" title="Y2K bug">Y2K computer bug</a>. </p><p>A third position was expressed by Bill Paupe, honorary consul for <a href="/wiki/Kiribati" title="Kiribati">Kiribati</a>: "To me, I just don't see what all the hoopla is about ... it's not going to change anything.
