I shouldn’t let it bother me . It really doesn’t matter anyway. But it does bother me ! All those people are preparing to  21   a new century, a new millennium(千年) as well. And it just isn’t  22  !
Most of us schedule our lives by the Gregorian   23   . Our years are measured from the   24  of Christ. The first year of the first century is 1,or 1 A.D.

I don’t agree with the  34   ,“Ignorance is bliss.”But in this case, perhaps it’s  35    .
