I guess when your birth is so uncertain it's hard to keep up with the date.

How old again?
- Thread starter LDB
- Start date
He didn't mess up his birthday or the date, he messed up his AGE. So whoever did the video is kind of an idiot. I know when my birthday is, and the date, but more often than not I have to stop and think about how old I am, usually having to do some quick math. If I don't feel like doing the math, I'll just tell 'em the year I was born and let them figure it out.
Well, me for one. Did you not read what I wrote? How old I am is simply not something I keep on my mind all the time, and there's no reason to commit it to memory, especially since it keeps changing every year. I merely choose not to devote any neurons to something so thoroughly unimportant in my daily life. Who wakes up every morning and goes, "Hey! I'm STILL x-years old!", except the very young and the very old, and the challenged who find such small accomplishments important?
My date of birth is often important, it never changes, and is thus easy and practical to commit to memory, and if a need arises to figure out my actual age, it's simple enough to do. The last important age I attained was 18. Not a single age I've been since then has mattered one wit.
