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.
What is that holiday Americans celebrate by blowing their fingers off with firecrackers?
This is how conversations work. By the end of the sentence, you know what someone has said.
How long is the pause in your speech between words that you have to worry about losing someone’s attention after a single word?
Edit: I should add that I’m Australian though, so the day/month/year thing works for me, and we also say the day first when speaking.
