    1900s formally refers to the years 1900-1909 and 19th century refers the years 1801-1900. There is no year zero so 1800 is a part of the 18th century, 1900 a part of the 19th century, and 2000 is part of the 20th century.
    There is only one year every century where the informal terminology you are using and the formal terminology coincide.

    Even though 1900s is used to refer to years 1900-1909, this is logically impossible because that would mean the first "decade" CE and the last "decade" BCE would be only 9 years each as there is no year zero and even if their was a year zero you would need one year zero each which makes even less sense.

    In reality 1900s can only mean the years from 1901-1910.

    Let me make tables for you:

    Your usage of 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s:
    1700s 18th century
    1800s 19th century
    1900s 20th century

    Proper and logical usage of 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s:
    1700s 1701-1710
    1800s 1801-1810
    1900s 1901-1910

    All this may sound unnecessarily pedantic, but it's important to point out.

    The politically correct term in use now is the British & Irish Isles, which is fine by me. I'll continue to call it the British Isles though.

    Better than 'the Isles'. Which Isles? Western Isles? Isles of Scilly?
    Spoiler!
