	Julian Calendar
		Various systems of year numbering were used with the Julian calendar, starting with ab urbe condita (from the supposed founding of Rome) or the reign year of the current ruler.
		Years were numbered from the supposed date of the "incarnation" or "annunciation" of Christ on March 25 of the new year 1 (offset by 753 years from ab urbe condita).
		Easter, Christmas and New Year are still calculated according to the Julian calendar in the Eastern Orthodox churches, and some Eastern Orthodox churches continue to use the Julian Calendar for all their church calendar dates.

	The Julian and Gregorian Calendars
		The system of numbering years A.D. (for "Anno Domini") was instituted in about the year 527 A.D. by the Roman abbot Dionysius Exiguus, who reckoned that the Incarnation had occurred on March 25 in the year 754 a.u.c., with the birth of Jesus occurring nine months later.
		In that case 1 A.D. is the second year, and 999 A.D. is the 1000th year, of the first Christian millennium, implying that 1999 A.D. is the final year of the second Christian millennium and 2000 A.D. the first year of the third.
		In other words, a year which is divisible by 4 is a leap year unless it is divisible by 100 but not by 400 (in which case it is not a leap year).

	The difference between the Millennium and year 2000 [Free Republic]
		When going to year 2000, we celebrate that it's a special round number, and in year 2001 we can celebrate a new century, a new Millennium, and that it's passed 2000 years since year 1 started.
		It's year 2000 that would cause that problem in most cases, not the Millennium/century-shift in year 2001, except for places where code is based on century/Millennium-code, which might be a problem in seldom cases.
		The main problem with year 2000 is that computers may think it is year 1900 or similar, because they were programmed to use only two digits for year, then presuming that it was 19xx, so when xx=0, they might think it is 1900.

	Go 2 Zero Debates 4
		If our system of numbering years (starting with 1) needs to be fixed, it only follows that by starting with 1 for the month and day also needs to be fixed.
		If you think starting from 1 in the years numbering system needs to be fixed, then the month numbering system (January = 1, and so on) and the day numbering system needs to be fixed as well since they use the exact same concept, only for smaller periods of time.
		It is easier to reckon the years before Christ starting with the first year before his birth, and working backwards, than trying to find the beginning of time and counting forward.

		In all dating systems, centuries are essentially numbered ordinally, as time is a purely relative notion (its physical existence, though indispensable for our understanding of reality, still remains unproven in theory).
		As far as numbering years within centuries is concerned, the contemporary convention appears to be the use of the astronomical year numbering system, whereby centuries are considered beginning with year 0 and proceeding to year 99.
