2000 was a different time. The r word wasn't exactly in favour even then, but it was in far more common usage.
I can think of a few other terms that are now more often called out than simply tutted at, but for obvious reasons, I'll not list any.
I can also think of a few choice words I might say about how long ago 2000 was, which might be slightly more acceptable, if colourful, language, but I'll refrain.
