She knows that “the 19th century” means sometime in the 19th century, which begins not on the first day of 1900 but on the first day of 1800.[...] “If I say I’m in my twelfth year, then surely I’m twelve now.”
He said, “That’s wrong. If a baby is in its first year, it’s zero years old. When you’re twelve, you’re in your thirteenth year.”
Why has NO ONE explained it to me like this before lol

Like, my whole life, whenever I for example encountered "thirteenth century", my brain goes "thirteenth century = twelve hundred and something something", like some big math equation, when it could have been presented to me in this much more logical way. Well at least now I can remember it much better in the future 🤪
