"The common and accepted practice seems to be that we begin a new century
when the "digits roll over," ie, 1 January 100 began the second century,
1 January 1900 began the twentieth, etc. As a practice we do not include
the year ending in 00 in the previous century (ie, the year 1900 is never
referred to as part of the 1800s or nineteenth century)."
The common practice long ago was the world was flat. Is that what you want us
to believe.
