I grew up in the 90s and I remember being able to truncate the year down to just 2 numbers when talking about years within the current millennium. It seems like we’re still saying twenty before every year and I’m just wondering when that will change.
Maybe it’s generational. Do people born after 2000 already shorten it?
other than “back in 0X” I would probably assume it’s 19XX
I’ve seen it once on a meme, but I’m old. I would assume older people would have bounced back to it faster.
