    It's occurred to me that there is often some confusion about what the names of centuries actually are.

    I often get phone calls with people describing items as 19th century when they mean 20th, and so on.

    so:

    20th Century: 1900-1999
    19th Century: 1800-1899
    18th Century: 1700-1799

    etc, etc!!

    this post is too funny dK,

    the number of people that use the century incorrectly is beyond belief! i'm always getting items described to me incorrectly because of a basic misuse of the centuries!
