Some naysayers came out to say that it was actually the 22nd year as 2000 would be considered the first year of the century.
To which, a user replied on Twitter, "Happy 21st day of the 21st year of the 21 century. (I also just learned that the 21st century did start on Jan 1, 2001, because a year "0" does not exist in the Gregorian calendar.)"
