Queen Victoria died in 1901. I bet there were people alive at Elizabeth II’s coronation half a century later who still referred to Victoria as “the” queen.

- benj111 3y agoTrue. I still refer to 'the 20s' as the 1920s. And 'turn of the century' as 19th -> 20th century even though we're a quarter of the way into the next. I guess it'll be a generational thing like knowing what your nans talking about when she mentions the 'tranny' (transistor radio), your dad the hi fi, etc, etc.
