(correctly) calling it the 20th, and not the 19th Century all along, now, hadn't you? Furthermore, you don't start counting anythingwith zero, now, do you? (If there are 10 illiterates in a row, you don't conclude there are only 9 by insisting that you count like this: "zero - one - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight - nine," now, do you???)
