But for years and years, most people used just the seven digit phone numbers, and the area code was something extra only used when making long-distance calls (remember those? they were actually something special way back when). Nowadays with cells, we all use the whole 10 digits for calls, so maybe the younger generation just considers the whole thing as a phone number and no longer thinks about the area code as seperate? Course, that doesn't explain the fact that I'm sure lots of those you encounter aren't that young, but still, might explain a few?
