2010 decade era...

From 2010 the best player has been Nadal- more slams, masters and weeks at number one[I think] than any other player. He's a force of nature and should be given full credit for it. I have to say though that threads like this do bring a smile to my face as they just seem a bit tit for tat as I assume you're reacting to the Djokovic era thread. Seriously the entertainment I get on this forum is sometimes better than the actual matches themselves. Thank God I discovered TTW lol!

It seemed like a statement needed to be made to acknowledge when a decade starts.
 
Sorry but OP is mistaken. The decades begin with years starting with 1. This current decade started on 2011.

Your word against Wikipedia? You lose. I know how you like facts, except when they don't support your POV!

What web site are you going by in regards to tennis?

This. Thank you for stating the truth. The biased wiki page cannot be trusted. We all know Djokovic's won more slams than anyone else since 2011. He's clearly the best of the new decade.

Idemo!

And yet, based on Wikipedia, the decade starts with a 0, not a 1. I guess you are mocking Chico.

Wikipedia is biased, their writers like Nadal more. Chico is telling the truth. Please try to be more objective like Chico and me and other Djokovic fans.
Thank you.

Much has been made of who's the dominant player in this decade.

I point you to Wikipedia that lists the decades.

Sadly, some folks believe decades start a year later than years ending in a zero, but according to stats the 90s were from 90-99, and 2000-2009, 2010-

Sadly, I put this out there because some folks think decades start a year after they do.

A conversation that went nowhere is what made me put Chico on ignore.

1. Yes, any 10 year span is a decade.
2. But the way decades are named they span from a year ending in 0 to a year ending in 9. The current decade (the 2010s) started in 2010).

I asked Chico to tell me how the decade from 2011 to 2020 is referred to, and since he couldn't answer he ran for the hills. In 5555's terms, he lost the argument. LOL

:shock: It's really not that serious bro. Believe me, the trolling stops being entertaining after a while.

The "current" decade is something that is not relevant to this thread. A decade can be any 10 year period, and the original poster has made it clear that the decade he is interested in discussing is the decade of 2010-2019. If you would like to discuss the decade of 2011-2020, please make a new thread.
 
LOL. Every thread I go to is Chico vs everyone else!
 
Ridiculous from Chico...think about when the world began. The first decade would have been the first 10 years. They wouldn't have waited 1 year, and then the next 10 be the 'first decade'.
Quite embarrassing seeing someone come up with crap like this in order to improve the credibility of their favourite player.

Sorry but you are incorrect. Please think about it once more. The first year is year 1, not year 0 (which ever existed, like there is no day 0 in the month, the first day in the month is 1). So the first decade starts with year 1 and end with 10, next decade starts with year 11 ends with year 20, ... this current decde starts with year 2011...

Please don't do this. It is not true.
It is just me defending my opinion and facts against several very aggressive Nadal fans who are trying hard to mob me at every corner. They simply don't like to hear the truth and facts about the current state of tennis world.

You don't even know what you are talking about. Stop lying ok. Thank you Chico. Sorry. Have a good day. :twisted:
 
OP, please create a poll for this thread!

This decade started from a) 2010 b) 2011.
So that the posters blinded by fangirlism here, can see the light :twisted:

Sorry my friend, I wasn't taking anyones side. I'm a Djokovic fan myself.

Just went through a couple of threads, and noticed a pattern. You're fully entitled to say what you want, even if others disagree, keep going Chico. As long as everyone is posting within the rules of the forum, and not offending anyone, it's all good natured fun. :)

Well, remember we did have a discussion about it. Exhibit tolerance and patience, and if there is something you don't agree with, let it go and move on. There are a lot of flammatory remarks here that I could let get to me, but I choose not to. I'll talk to the ones that I feel I can have a discussion with, and hopefully even learn something from, and try to stay away from those comments that are here for the sole purpose to cause trouble. It certainly isn't worth getting rattled up over and certainly not worth getting banned over...(unless that is the end game).
 
A decade can be any ten year period.
The current decade, in the conventional sense starts on a 1 and ends on a zero because there was no year 0.
When a decade is referred to numerically (80's, 90's etc), it starts on a 0 and ends on a 9, for obvious reasons.

The current decade in a conventional sense started in 2010, sorry. It's a fact 99 out of 100 people would agree. It's a convention.

If decades starting with a year ending in 1 were conventionally used there would be a name for them, and there isn't. Don't encourage Chico's crazy theories, he's doing very well on his own. Thank you. :)

If a decade is not specified numerically (ie 1970's) and is not in the sense of any generic 10 year period, I assume it begins on the year XXX1.

No, you don't assume that. Decades starting in xxx1 are not conventionally used, at least not in the U.S. and as far as I know not in Western Europe either.

If you look at discussions about any topic, they refer to decades like "the 60s" or "the 80s". They don't say: " The decade starting in 1961 and ending in 1970 is known for women with hairy armpits and hippies cloaked in thick clouds of hallucinogenic smoke".

Come on, this is common sense now. Have you been talking to Chico lately? Hopefully we don't have an outbreak of some dumb disease. :)
 
firepanda said:
You too? :'( Talk about peer pressure...

All right, I'll concede it. Decades conventionally refer to years from XXX0 to XXX9. That way makes more mathematical sense anyway.
Click to expand...

Sorry but it does not make more sense in any way especially not mathematical.
You should not let couple of misinformed aggressive posters persuade you to think wrong is right. Please read again my post which explains there was never year 0. and decades start with years ending with 1:

Chico, technically you are 100% correct, but for practical and conversational purposes, the other approach is better. Here's a similar case: Winter doesn't literally begin until December 21st, but when, for example, on December 12th, there's snow on the ground and the temperature is -20 degrees C, I (and I'm sure most other people) don't think of the conditions as being typical of a late autumn. As far as I'm concerned, it's winter, whether it says so on the calendar or not.
 
Djokovic has been number 1 the longest this decade

Ah, No. Nadal has been number 1 for around 70 weeks since 2010 whereas Djokovic has been number 1 for 101 weeks since 2010.
