While I agree with this, the general public has stated that it ends
12/31/99.  Since the majority of them think it, it becomes the truth
(although wrong IMHO).  There was a recent example of that, in the term
"blue moon" which IIRC was supposed to mean the 4th full moon of a season,
instead became to mean the second full moon of a month.

Look at it this way, on 12/31/1999 party, then the next year, party again to
celebrate the real one.

        I would like to point out that the millennium doesn't actually end
until
        12/31/2000.
