Now that is a phrase you don't hear very often. I was just thinking about that this morning before bed. I was thinking how odd of a phrase it seems now. Sure we are 15 years into the new century. At the turn of this century, however, everyone was fascinated with words like "millenium" or "Y2K".
When I think of the phrase "Turn of The Century" I think of the 1900's, even the 1800's.
It's a phrase associated with history. What SAy You?

No it's not and I think I would be the same 1800, 1900, when you come to think about and not 2000. when it came 2,000 everyone was concerned about the millennium bug and things would crash, I can't remember anyone saying "Turn of The Century".

@kevin1877uk I really didn't understand it myself. Atleast they are still together. At the time the family was trying to tell her not to rush, but she wouldn't hear of it.

I have to say though, we aren't off to a good start.

I think word or phrase usage changes with modernization. Terminology and all of that changes with time.

You are probably right. I bet there is a new word for it that haven't thought of. I know at the beginning of the century everyone was so worried about the Y2K, at the same time many were celebrating the Milennium.

@celticeagle Not necessarily in the right direction though.

Since it's not that near yet, you cannot hear turn of the century for awhile. There are a lot of innovations happening already. So maybe it's just a regular thing for now.

The old century was only 16 years ago when you think about it. And a lot has happened since 2000.
