Personally I prefer to round 29 years 6 months up to «I’m now 30 years old». As you would expect to happen if you run round(29.5). For some reason, most cultures settled on either floor(age) or ceil(age).
- alexey-salmin 1y agoWhich cultures settled on ceil(age)?
- thaumasiotes 1y agoThe traditional system in China and its surroundings, 虛歲, is that you're born at the age of 1 and your age increases on the new year.
- setopt 1y agoAs the sibling comment mentioned, I was thinking of East Asian countries. There's another difference in that age++ there happens on Chinese New Year and not your own birthday, but that's an orthogonal point to the rounding, I think.
