Hopstretch Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Nuh-uh! Resolve to renounce pedantry, dude. Happy New Year all! Quote
morphsci Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Nuh-uh! Sorry, but I start with 0 not 1. Quote
Beefy Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Sorry, but I start with 0 not 1. You can start where you like, but you would be wrong The first year was the first year. The 2010th year is the 2010th year. We haven't finished 2010 years until the end of 2010. Quote

We haven't finished 2010 years until the end of 2010. Unless the "first" year was actually 0. Going from 0 to 1 then is the first year. That may not be convention, but it is not wrong, only different. I hate following convention even if the sheeples think I am wrong. Quote
Beefy Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Unless the "first" year was actually 0. That's the rub - there was never a zero year in any currently used calendar system Quote
Genetic Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Have great one and as I found out this year...good health is probably something to look for in 2010. Amicalement Quote
screaming oranges Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Happy 2010 everyone. Hope you sell more than you buy! Quote
morphsci Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) Ah, it is too nice a day. Happy New Year and Happy one-year to the new decade. Edited January 1, 2010 by morphsci Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Happy New Year, Happy New Decade, and Fuck The Pedants -- 1990 was not part of the 80's; 2000 was not part of the 90's. I mean, sure, we can argue that we haven't technically started the 201st decade yet, but no-one calls it that. Quote
grawk Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 That's the rub - there was... That's the rub - there was never a zero year in any currently used calendar system Don't care. Decade starts in the 0 years. Suckit. Quote
Beefy Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Don't care. Decade starts in the 0 years. Suckit. When you count to 10, do you say 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? Quote
Hopstretch Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 When you count to 10, do you say 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? I turned 40 last year. Am I still in my 30s? That would be pretty awesome, actually. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 I turned 40 last year. Am I still in my 30s? That would be pretty awesome, actually. Sorry, Stretch, no luck there since we actually start counting our age at 0. Quote
mypasswordis Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 The Chinese way is you're born 1 and every Chinese New Year's everyone's ages get incremented by 1. So if you're born the day before CNY you're 2 at 2 days old. Quote
grawk Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 When you count to 10, do you say 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? "Suckit." What dusty said. Quote
guzziguy Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 When you count to 10, do you say 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? Yes, but I've been shaped by computer languages, which typically do count this way. Quote
