I was pooping in my shower so I think I’m in the correct community, buddy.
Seems more like it’s own top level discussion than related to the 1985 song. But carry on, who am I to rain on your parade?
Math / Maths. Legos / Lego. There’s other examples too where Bri’ish and Septic English differ on pluralisation. It’s what happens when language mutates.
It took me much longer than I’d like to admit to understand what the title meant. “But 1985 is 0 years from 1985???”
I am not a clever person.
The song “1985” was released in 2004. At that time, the song was reminiscing about a time that was 19 years ago. Now, in 2024, the year 2004 is 20 years ago. Therefore, the release year of the song “1985” is closer to the year 1985, than the current year is to the year the song “1985” was released (2004).
There’s a song about that! https://youtu.be/zaAYUZqZvlA?si=k5EHa5N2apm7QtZY
