Well, that part at least I don’t think is necessary. It’s a parody of a dating app, and it seems from searching screenshots the real app doesn’t have units either - just the number.
Which is just fine, because the number next to someone’s name being their age is clear from context.
Give or take. His species lives for centuries and I’m sure they lose track after a while.
I suspect the person you responded to understood the context, but was cheekily calling out the “technically incorrect” usage of ±
The ± symbol requires a tolerance value to create a defined maximum and minimum range, e.g 300±20 (so Soran could be anything between 280 and 320)
it doesn’t mean “approximately”
But I understand this is just an inconsequential funny picture, so whatever right.
They should have wrote ~300 if they wanted approximately 300.
Exactly :)
The unit (years) is also missing.
