Reading over what I have just written, I have realised something. I have used two systems to number the years. How could I not have noticed this before?
I am guilty of bad practice. Only one system of numbering is needed. Two introduces confusion, uncertainty, doubt and muddle. (And is asthetically unpleasing.)
In accordance with the first system I have named two years 2011 and 2012. This strikes me as deeply pedestrian. Also I cannot remember what happened two thousand years ago which made me think that year a good starting point. According to the second system I have given the years names like 'The Year I named the Constellations' and 'The Year I counted and named the Dead'. I like this much more. It gives each year a character of its own.This is the system I shall use going forward.
