They cannot count.

That is 11 days, not twelve.

Well if you count the 10th and the 21st, then it is 12 days.

[tgpo]

Perhaps you should try counting them yourself

Did you work in Florida during the 2000 election?

[Tommyknocker]

I was thinking about the last phrase. And the traditional Twelve Days of Christmas go from 25 Dec to Jan 6.

No

but

10+11=21

I also just busted you on the no-politics rule.

You never count the day you are on.

The ad stats "during Dec.10 - Dec.21". So in that case you would count the 10th. Which would make it 12 days.

[Tommyknocker]

Oh man. Why do I even try?

[bazooka]

Oh man. Why do I even try?

Because you like to

So... A store open Monday to Friday would be closed Monday???

No.....forget it.

It is not worth it.

I was just saying that normally you do not count the day you are on because the day is in progress.

Normal math would say 10+11=21

I was just saying most people do not start with 0 when counting from 1 to 10.

[Grimey]

[Grimey]

[jimmalenko]

I'm glad you said mind ....

[MrMoody]

Reminds me of the old joke, if brains were dynamite ...

[Goober57]

Stupid me. I thought we were supposed to be looking
at the expression on the girl's face.

Oh well. I've been lurking in off-topic toooooo long.

That's one reason why I got such a belly laugh over all the people who celebrated the new millennium on Jan. 1, 2000

My wife mixes up counting like that too. Say today is Monday and I tell her that something is happening in four days. She always says ..."oh, Thursday then" since she counts "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, THursday" I tell her "No. Today is zero days away. Start counting with tomorrow". She does ...until the next time ....

[bazooka]

Thank you cap.

I am vindicated.

There aren't 10 numbers between 1 & 10, there are 8 numbers between 1 & 10.

If the first year was year 0, New Year's Eve in year 0 is celebrating the end of the first year. So year 1 means 1 year completed, plus some fraction of a year. Therefore year 1999 means 1999 years completed. Therefore at the turn of 1999 -> 2000, it was the end of the millenium.

Now if the first year was year 1, New Year's Eve in year 1 is celebrating the end of the first year. So year 1 means at the end of the year it will be 1 year completed, so year 2 means 1 year completed, plus some fraction of a year. Therefore year 2000 means that at the end of 2000, there will be 1999 years completed. Therefore at the turn of 2000 -> 2001, it was the end of the millenium.

I can see the confusion

Right you are.
