The universe started in 1970. Anyone claiming to be over 38 is lying about their age.

[Cueball sits at a computer, staring at the screen and rubbing his chin in thought. A friend stands behind him.]
Cueball: Weird — My code's crashing when given pre-1970 dates.
Friend [pointing at Cueball and his computer]: Epoch fail!
Thank you, sets my mind at ease to know it is not just me :)
"Atom" vs. "Adam" -- yes now that you mention it, you're not hearing things, Americans do say it differently.
This reminds me of something that constantly bothers me about youtube tutorials: I can tell instantly the presenter is American or was raised in America when they say ".. now go ahead and ..." rather than "now, ..." or "next, ..." when presenting step-by-step procedures. I don't know why, but it really bothers me, yet there is nothing 'wrong' about it.
Haha, constantly hearing "go ahead" is absolutely my #1 bugbear - I get so irritated and distracted when people keep repeating it that I have to rewind to actually listen to the other words. I've noticed some Brits have started using it to, much to my dismay.
I was using gpg earlier and it told me "Go ahead and type your message".
