This was one of the concepts I struggled with when learning English. In Norwegian, we rarely speak about the 'centuries'(det attende århundre), we mostly use the 'hundreds' (syttenhundretallet).

I used to make the mistake of thinking 1800s=18th century too.

I just always go by this logic 18th century should be 1800, but nothing is ever perfectly and nicely arranged this way, so deduce a hundred points for upsetting my OCD, and end up with 1700 due to the point penalty (Half serious joke)

I had to argue a long time with my aunt, a fellow older teacher, about why the correct answer was correct. Think of centuries as boxes/containers that need to be filled up with time. 1st box: 1-100, second box: 101-200, and so on. Edit: Thank you for the poll, Brandon.

Consider this: the 1st century was the first hundred years. The first hundred years doesn't start at 100. It starts at year 1 and continues till year 100. The second century is the second hundred years, etc.
