The date actually had me wondering. At what point do we start to refer to 1994 as the "1900s". We are already 2 decades into the 2000s, but it feels strange to refer to 1994 as the 1900s? Wonder which decade in the 1900s people started feeling comfortable referring to 1894 as "the 1800s".

- epistasis 7y agoThat's true, and I feel the same about the oddity of referring to the 1990s as the 1900s In contrast, I think 20th century versus 21st century doesn't feel as wrong, and I regularly use 20th century to refer to time periods that include the 1990s.
