Please settle this very silly difference of opinion

Hang on I thought this was is a light hearted thread.

I saw no poster deserving to be called ignorant. Certainly when that poster used emojis to show light hearted banter.

It's just a difference of opinion and hardly discussing life or death.

The Chinese start you at 1 on the day your born.

I agree POGS, using the word 'ignorant' was perhaps a little unnecessary. But actually anno referred to Gabriella's post as ignorant, not Gabriella herself

I have to say that I agree with anno's view though in general - you are, of course, in your first year from birth to one, in your second year from your 1st birthday until your second and so on, until at 69, you are in your 70th year, but not yet in your 70s of course.

Amber, you certainly stirred things up among the GNs, and got us off the subject of (you know what)

I wouldn't give DH the satisfaction of telling him that he is right Just quietly drop the subject

And this is the reason people don't post on even light hearted posts.

'ignorant'?

Totally unnecessary.

And I still reckon you are in your 69th year?

i know you aren't, but I don't care ?

DH is right. When you are born you are in your first year until 1st birthday and then you enter your 2nd year as so it goes on

amberdogK9 ….hasn't been back so I'm wondering if she's accepted her husband was right, and gawn off in a huff.

Or she is watching from the side lines, chuckling at how clever she is, setting up a thread that has happily chugged along for two pages and looking like it still has life in it yet!

Any other ideas to keep us occupied amberdogK9 through this strange time?

This is the same issue some people had with the millennium. There was no year zero. So if you start from year one and work through all the centuries, the last year of the twentieth century was 2000 and the first year of the twenty-first century was 2001.
