I'm waiting for "20" to register the equivalent of "year" and all anyone hears is the second number: 2072 = 72.
And in this world, "19" throws people for a loop. Like "Shit. You're THAT old"
About 10 years ago I overheard one of my kids dismiss something as being "from the 1900's". It was about 15 years old at the time.
Ah yes, the ancient year of 1998
"20th Century Boy" hits different now.
