That's because I use round(age) when referring to their floating point age in conversation like any sane person.

- bsder 6y agoRound(age)? So, they became one year old at 180 days? I doubt that. And, as I pointed out, there are folks in the world who call their newborn "one year old". And they consider themselves quite sane, thanks. They count from 1. We count from zero. Back to the original issue ... The problem you now have in programming is that it isn't enough that basing from 1 is equivalent. The vast majority of the programming world has converged on 0-based. 1-based has to demonstrate that it is better in order to compensate for the friction of existing in a 0-based world. And 1-based simply isn't demonstrably better even if I concede that it isn't worse (and I do not concede that).
