Common questions

Why are there two possible ages?

A birth year alone does not say whether the birthday has happened yet this year, so the answer is always one of two ages until you give the full date.

What generation is someone born in 2005?

Generations are defined by rough year ranges rather than exact cut-offs, so people born near a boundary are often described as belonging to either one.
