You do realize that this century started only 20 years ago?
"around the turn of the century" - we are 10 years late people!
I think the turn of the century.
That was generations ago. What about in this century?
It’s pretty early in the century
If by "a century ago" you also mean "less than 2 years ago", then sure.
genuinely curious which century you mean?
I think you meant 20th (or 21st) century.
More than 100 years? Are you SURE about that?
That was previous millennium. We're in 2018 now.
