Trouble with that is, when you're in your early sixties you have to say you're
in your 7th decade :-(((( But, having taught maths - as in short for
mathematics, as opposed to math which presumably is short for mathematic - I
must agree with you. (How do you do an emoticon for "ducking the flying
cowpats"?)

Just as a general comment, it seems that for "The decade of my age" many
people are using the first digit of their age. This ignores the first

3rd.
