Ok, let's see. When do you start living? (Please excuse any right to life blather at the moment. This will get more interesting if we go to "when does life actually start?" For now, we'll stick to the OB delivery, just for the discussion)
So, you start counting your years of life at your 1st birthday, and then say I am "one - 1?"
No, you began with th ...[text shortened]... ch moment added on toward your 1st birthday, at which point your start your 2nd year.
No.

Yes, but do you describe someone who is less than a year old as being "0 years old"?

Yes, exactly, let's count to ten.
Ask any little kid to count to ten.
Does he start at 0 and stop at 9?
No, he starts at 1 and counts to ten.
Yes, please, explain it "simpler" so you get it.
Yes, it's clear that you're a moron. Thanks for playing.
When you get to one, you've just finished a year, how hard is that? We were all born on our first birthday? Great deductions, great minds, Maybe that's why the world is in economic crisis, no one can add anymore. Did zero ever hold a place for you? Do you understand how to account for time?
Let's run a race, see who's the fastest. Does the starter pistol go bang and there's one minute on the clock? One second? One hour? No, it starts at zero. Any TIME origination starts at zero. Time also expires at zero. One second left on a chess blitz, checkmate, you win. Zero left on a blitz, you lose. losers. Read music? Count time, the first beat is well into the tune, you've all ready established the tempo, the key signature, the time signature, song title.

I am honestly blown away by the stubbornness being exhibited in this thread.
All this ridiculous zero talk is completely irrelevant when explaining why Jan. 1, 2010 is the start of a decade which shall be henceforth known as the '10s. Clearly I gave some of you a little more credit than deserved.
You pedants that want to start your own impractical decade next year for no other reason than to ensure every decade in the history of civilization has been partitioned equally and linearly like some gang of OCD freaks are free to do so. But don't try and feed that nonsense to me. I'm just too bloody practical.

It starts with zero time, zero effect and zero items.
Doesn't it??
Computers run on nothing. Fact!!

Those who understand binary and those who don't.
I think you land safely in the latter group.
