You know how we refer to the 1920s as being between 1920 - 1929, the 1970s as 1970-1979?
When we say the 1900s? Does that mean 1900-1909, or 1900-1999?
That is is "The nineteen hundreds" the years from "nineteen hundred" to "nineteen oh nine", or "nineteen hundred" to "nineteen ninety-nine"?
And not that anyone us will be alive then <_< >_> how will extremely distant future years be pronounced? Like the year 74,154? At the moment we seperate the year in groups of a maximum of 2.
763 is "seven sixty-three". 1176 is "eleven seventy-six". Will we do the same thing with 74,154? Like seperate it into 7 41 and 54 and call it "seven forty-one fifty-four"? And what about 6,523,134? Will that be "six fifty-two thirty-one thirty-four"?

Do you update them pretty much as soon as the month begins in your local time? Like the 1st of that month at 12:00:00.0000000000000000000000000000000 am? (To the nearest 0.0.0000000000000000000000000000001 seconds)? <_<
