37 isn’t around 40 because it’s 3 full units away, placing it firmly in the mid-30s. "Around 40" typically refers to numbers like 39 or 41within 1 or 2 units. Plus, 40 marks a new decade, while 37 still belongs to the 30s. The gap is small numerically, but meaningful contextually.
@Liam chill man it's not that serious. Also, rounding off to nearest tens 37≈40 "37 belongs to the 30's", yeah but so does 39, u can't say a 37 year old is "around 30"
Rounding proximity. Sure, 37 rounds to 40, but rounding is about estimation, not closeness. If 37 is ‘around 40’ just because of rounding, then 34 must be ‘around 30’ and 36 is both ‘around 40’ and ‘around 30’? That logic gets messy fast. Context matters 37 is mid-30s, not flirting with 40 yet
