> They're thinking, "That's item number 1". Yeah that's because the distinction between indexing and counting is pretty much irrelevant to every day use, and to maths where you can just hand-wave syntax. So people are very used to doing it "wrong". That's what most of the issue with this debate is. Indexing from 1 is wrong, but people are soooo used to it they just can't get over what they think is the "normal" way. |

No it's not. Telling the time or measuring something is 0-indexed. But identifying a thing in a list is 1-indexed.
