Not what you asked, but I find turn of the century most jarring.
Turn of the millennium?
That stings, but not quite as much as century as with that my brain now has to go through the process of determining which century when it never had to before.
Century has that human element because “last century” is where old people are from. You wouldn’t meet people from the last millennium, but you know people from the last century. It’s 100 years, that’s a lifetime. Implying that you’re from the “last” one means you’re not from “this” one. Aka, ancient.
you never learnt about stuff that took place a bit after the industrial revolution?
You’re right. @[email protected] put it better.
