My guy is American.

Edit: and Kit D is a much more contemporary compared to my guy

No they don't.

Yes, the article titled "Quinta de Noval", and referring to Quinta da Noval within the article.

Yes it is!

OK, could someone please summarise the current thinking then on decades, decades where the first year ends in a 0, decades where the last year ends in a 0, millennia, C20, C21, the 60s.
