> On your sixth birthday we put a big 5 on your cake and call you a 5 year old all year.

If you are going to be that pedantic, I would point out that one only has one birthday.

(Well, unless one's mother is extremely unlucky.)

"Birthday" does not mean the same thing as "date of birth".
“Birthday” is just short for “birth day anniversary”, I guess…
yes, birthday and birth day are different things. Just like everyday and every day have different meanings, and it isn't confusing (to most people).
Well regardless the number we constantly use is 0-indexed.
