It seems awkward to me to refer to the previous century that way until you're at least halfway through the next century. Even then, that's pushing it. Basically I think that way of referring to an era implies you're over, or at least fairly close to, 100 years away from it.
Early 2000's doesn't sound odd at all though.
Because that’s referring the 2000’s decade. In terms of centuries, I would say we are still in the early 2000’s and that does feel odd to say.
To use a quote from the later part of the 1900s:
Time keeps on slippin' into the future.
To use another from the very late 1900s
The years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Definitely one of the songs of the very late 1900s.
Reading that just broke my hip.
I suddenly feel like the crypt keeper
We can't possibly be that old! I feel you've made a grave mistake
Isn't this an actual thing? Pretty sure I was told by some instructor not to use references older than a decade or two. Unless the subject is very elementary older sources are more likely to be obsolete
Depends on the subject. Historians use a lot older materials more regularly for obvious reasons.
TTT... no matter how much we don't like to admit it.
I just pulled my back and broke my hips reading this, it made me feel so old 👴🏻
Idk it’s kind of a cool feeling that people see us the way we would have seen people born in the 1890’s.
Fuck, I'm old.
Someone left me a reply just yesterday with that date format. At first I was going to reply back that they must have made a typo, but then realized they weren't wrong. Ouch.
We will never* stop seeing accounts milking this same joke for more attention points
