Fooling yourself is not against the law.

Neither is being a retard. Or a troll.

I know some women that have been 39 for years. I can't see why men can't do the same. 😉

If you are in a western society this applies:

At the time you celebrate your first birthday you have lived one year, so the age in years is always the number of years lived and thus if you turn 40 you are already in your fifth decade!

Yes. But it also applies that I'm in my 40s.

My god, people are thick.

I think it's more correct to state that the final year of your second decade coincides with the beginning of your twenties, etc.

Surely I was merely stating the obvious. What's the big deal here?

The obvious seems to be obviously different for some...

I think they all 'knew what they meant' -- just couldn't say it properly.
