    You’re absolutely right. But as most people don’t measure their age in centuries (yet), it isn’t a problem.

    I’m hoping the debate emerges when I’m in my 7th century.

      Pity. My great-grandmother died at 103. She would often declare. "I’m One hundred and three, you know. " Towards the end. I think If I had thought at the time to say. “You’re in your second century” At the time. She would have taken huge pleasure is telling everyone that for her last few months.
