This is just intentionally phrased poorly to create a rise out of people. It's like referring to water as "dihydrogen monoxide".

How so? I would certainly call something from 1894 to be from the "late 1800s' or late 19th century. I mean, we're a quarter of the way through this century, at some point it turns into history.

When most of your life occurred in the 20th century, it looks a lot different.

Because you still had to watch things from poor quality VHS tapes on CRT monitors. Of course it looked different.
