    You were born in the 20th century.

    Even if it was the year 2000 it would still be the 20th century.

    I know people give you hard time because you were "born" in the past century but they will get over it trust me.

    You were born in the 20th century. 2001 begins the 21st century.

    Well the problem is, if we say that 1998 is "so close" to the 21st, then someone else can say yabbut I was born in December 1997 and that is "so close" to 1998 which is considered 21 st. and then someone else can say but I was born on November 30 at 11:55 at night, which is "so close" to Dec. which is "so close" to - et.

    One day someone will say buIIshit, let's make a cutoff on this shlt. Ok, how about Dec 31st, 1999 versus Jan 1, 2000. All in favor?

    So they did that.

    The limit falls where it falls. There is no "but I'm soooooo close".
