Except that these aren't errors.  Dividing time in such ways is 
completely arbitrary either way you do it.  "The 20th century" is 
1901-2000, and an arbitrary span of 100 years.  "The 1900s" is 
1900-1999, and an arbitrary span of 100 years.  Neither is particularly 
"correct".  The only thing I could possibly see as incorrect is if you 
were to refer to 1900-1999 as "the 20th century" or to 1901-2000 as "the 
1900s".
