Er, uh, ok?
Like do people forget how old they are just because of the year they were born?
If someone does forget their age, they just have to do a little math, no different than someone born in 2000.
I think the point is just that the little bit of math is very easy if you're born in 2000.
Totally!
Thread OP, kinda like it's easier to do the math when trying to remember your age or the year something happened in reference to one another.
"I remember I was 12 when I got braces", so they know the year was 2012 when they got braces...
...which is easier than having to calculate:
- I was born in 1993
- so, 2000 - 1993 = 7
- and, 12 - 7 = 5
- 2000 + 5 = 2005 is when they got braces.
