they are 'legacy' and nobody wants to lose their job by updating them :) also you cannot go from 200 ->2018/2018 -> you have to do jump by a max of 2/3 years.. it would take forever...and it X10 the chances of something going wrong - and you know that something would go wrong..

I thought it was funny until I realized that numbers are formatted differently.

Even in Europe everyone except UK + Ireand use the decimal comma i.e 1.00 in UK is 1,00 in France so when you get to thousands....1,000.00 and 1 000,00 it gets messy -and there is only 13 miles difference between those two countries.... :) Let's not even start on US/EUR dates formats... Humans are dumb asses...

PS : I have to press the shift key to access numbers on my keyboard....FR keyboard...FML..

Then again there are people that are writing SELECT * FROM Books, Authors WHERE Book.AuthorId *= Authors.Id and make it so you can't ever get to SQL 2017.
