minus-square@bampop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•edit-22 months ago If the day started at 1:00 then by the second hour you would be at 2:00, even though only 1 hour has passed. When the second day of the month starts, the day of the month is 2, even though only 1 day has passed. I mean, numerically it does make sense to start at zero but it doesn’t seem to correspond to the way people think and talk.
