Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew to dinner they always want to go at 6/630 which feels so early. Edit: Kids are 30ish.
No, 1905 is halfway into the 1900s.
Bold move doubling down on that one. I’m excited to see if your attempt to change the internationally accepted name for an entire century to now only include one decade pays off! Keep me updated!
Hmmm… So if i say that both World Wars occurred in the 1900’s, you would disagree?
They didn’t both occur in the first decade of the twentieth century, if that’s what you’re confused about.
You do know that words can have more than one meaning, right?
You know the meaning depends on context, right?
Yes. And you’re getting the context wrong, which is what everyone is telling you.
Nope. The 20th century is recent enough that the 1900s refers to a specific decade, and OP clearly couldn’t have been referring to the entire century anyway since video games didn’t exist for the majority of it.
So you think they were referring to video games made between 1900 and 1910?
It was clearly the most humorous option, but some people seem to have an allergic reaction to humor.
