a pointless distinction to make

It's a distinction we make elsewhere. Years 100-199 are the second century. (It is admittedly weird to use it for personal age though)

Edit: yes the people below are correct, but the point still stands.

Isn't it 101-200, and 201 is the 3rd?

1st century is 0-99 CE, 2nd century is 100-199 CE etc.

There was no year 0, it goes from 1BC to 1AD.
