I know this is going to sound petty, but can we please stop saying "[I/He/She/whatever] turned [age number] today!"
I think it'd be far better if we started saying "Billy just celebrated his 15th anniversary of being alive on this Earth!" Or "Johnny had just celebrated his 22nd birthday last month!"
The former phrasing kind of makes it sound negative. Like "Oh shit, they're getting older again!? Didn't they just have a birthday last year!?"
