I use "the 1900s" to mean 1900-1910.
I understand the difficulty, but I don't think it is too terrible for us to get used to it and we aren't gonna change the past 500 years of literature that already did this.
Also, it's ironic for a bunch of people who literally count arrays from zero to be complaining about this... :-P
- fsckboy 2y agocounting arrays from zero was C's contribution to the public consciousness (inherited from BCPL, and perhaps from ASM) people here generally hate C so it's triggering and they are trying to forget[1] [1] this wasn't a footnote, it was forget array index 1.
