I am personally going to start using this, and I am going to get immediate benefits from this, and so are my readers. That's it, that's all it takes. More power to you! My point, however, is that why most people would be bothered by spilled milk in the middle of a room and clean it up, the fact that we've stuck with "counting centuries" for a long time implies that it really isn't a big deal to most people. If it's important enough for you to adapt your speech patterns, there's nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't expect most people to follow suit, though, because no-one cares.
