A funny thing about language is that usage is what gets recorded in dictionaries. Current recording includes several variants ... a century is any period of a hundred years ... for instance 1918 to 2018 is a century. Historians define centuries as you have noted. However common usage includes centuries starting at zero, such as 2000.
Yes, as we get into 2018, I'll be looking through the ad boards looking for a new provider actually born in this century. I wonder how long into the year I'll have to wait.
Well I must admit there is an appeal to me. Not specifically due to the relative youth, but just earning a new hobby Merit Badge. I am keenly aware of "1/2 my age", "20 years younger", and "30 years younger."
Once you can verify their born in 2000 credentials, there is still an experience level that will likely keep me from earning this new badge for at least of few years.
