I'm not many years graduated, but the things some of you guys just a few years younger than I, makes me fearful of what this nation's youth is going to bring about in the coming years.
ETA: this would be like an employer, starting your payable hours after some point into your work week. Since we start counting at 1, you only worked 39 hours this week. He it??
"chronological mathematics"? wtf
Don't think about time on a clock starting at 12:00am in the same way as the first year being 1. It's just different. The first year was the first year and at the end of it we began year #2. At the end of the 10th year, we began year #11.
Your payable hours analogy doesn't really apply but i would say the first hour you work in a week adds up to the number 1. the 40th hour is 40. The first 10 hours you worked were hours 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The second set of 10 hours: 11-20.
ETA: Also, I don't care that Coach technically didn't do the decade correctly. It really doesn't matter. I only replied because of the pompous attitude above.
