"Real age"[edit]

The main image for this article contrasts "Korean age" with "Real age". Even though it's used by most of the world, it's still not ideal to suggest one culture's counting system is more "real" than another. Are there any alternate terms that might be more neutral? I'd ping the image creator, but it appears they're no longer active. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 15:57, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This caught my eye as well. I would suggest "chronological age" as more neutral alternative. PerplexedPigeon (talk) 16:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Aljazeera uses "international system" and "western way". TIME uses "international standards" and "calendar age". BBC also uses "international standards". International standards and calendar age seem like useful and more neutral terms, depending on context. CMD (talk) 02:07, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
International age or calendar age are both much preferable to "real age". :3 F4U (they/it) 00:13, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone ahead and changed the graphic to say "International Age." The closest font I could find that matched was Bitstream Vera Serif Bold, if someone else decides to change it in the future. Mshron (talk) 14:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
