Unpopular Opinion:

Saying someone is X years young is just a way of saying they are so old and decrepit you feel like you are insulting them by even uttering their age without trying to offset this by saying young instead of old.

The day people start referring to my age in this way is the day I know im an old geezer.

@freemo I never remember my age anymore. When it gets close to my birthday I gotta subtract .. I'm usually either a year younger or older than I think I am.

@djsumdog Same, once I was past 21 I could pretty much only tell you my age to the nearest decade.. all I know is im between 30 and 40.
