            Then use a complete sentence instead of leaving it ambiguous.

              That is a grammatically correct sentence in English. What are you complaining about?

                It isn’t, really. In informal English, subject ellipsis is common, but the implied subject is usually “I”, hence my original comment.

                Subject ellipsis occurs in the casual register with first person as the predominant referent

      That’s great. Should have these more frequently as 50 year intervals leaves a lot of ground to cover.
