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
