  Back in the day it was trendy to affix the year you signed up for an account to your account name - rather than the birth year. It was interesting to see things like sandra96@yahoo.com still the primary email address when sending someone an email to catch up post uni.

    God help me, I cannot stop myself from laughing every time I see a @yahoo or @aol e-mail address on job applications/resumes. Bonus laughter if it's something massively inappropriate. Some e-mail stems from the last position search (this is at a college, granted it is an entry level position, but it's still a college): cuntcrasher, c00rslight, bigswag420, trideltaFcups, and my personal favorite, milfhunter9inch. These are supposed to be professional people. This is real life. This is real. I can't wake up.

      Hey, maybe that's short for Bret Igswag (born April 20). I used to work with a guy whose first + middle initials and last name resulted in an official corporate email of "xlwang", no lie. Only you can save Corbin Untcrasher and Tyrone Ridel-Tafcups from crushing student loan debt.

  You assume 1999 is their birth year...could be a graduation year.

    Or a random year. I like using random dates in usernames.

  21 here: anecdotally, almost all of them. Having a @yahoo.com address is pretty uncool, though.
