    A small correction and „fun fact“: there is no year zero. 1 BC is followed by 1 AD. Consequently things like the turn of the millennium happen a year after we celebrate them. But people found that weird.

      Sounds like that just means 0 AD = 1 BC rather than there not being a 0 AD. Could have -1000 AD, too.

        that’s ISO. if you’re putting the AD, 0 is not valid. the BC is specifically there because -AD isn’t a thing.
