The most recent ice age ended how many years ago?

The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the 'last ice age'. But the use of 'ice age' is incorrect. Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. The end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.
