Does it annoy you when people use expressions like, "It's 2010, why isn't

gay marriage legal yet?"? I agree with gay marriage, but I think referencing the current year to defend your point is very irrelevant! The world is not supposed to be progressive just because the current year is (insert any year here). In fact, their have been regressions along with progressions since any given year in the past. Plus, think about how many people used such expressions in the 00s, 90s, and 80s decades. Now we laugh because that was long ago. People will do the same thinking about the 2010s. By the way a new decade started with 2010. I'm mentioning this not because I think people are stupid but because people are like, "what are you talking about, we're not in the 10s, we're in the 2000s," due to the common pronunciation of the year being, "Two-thousand and Ten."
