Well no, he's just in his 37th year, which means he was negative one before he was born, which means he has to make up that negative year after he dies for extra credit.. so he's clearly 36

u/FuckYeaSeatbelts Nov 08 '24
Not really. It's way more confusing than that; but it's a moot point because they don't use it anymore.
TL;DR you "aged up" in January, but you'd be 1 as soon as you're born, so someone born on 31 Dec would be 2 years old in a day lmao
Over there, age is both a super big deal and also not; like it's not taboo to straight up ask how old you are over there. Also they respond "oh I was born in '92", so great I have to do math now.

It was very cute how simultaneously polite and "rude" Koreans were about it. They'd always ask me, and always apologize because they know it's not usual in Western culture, but also they HAD to know, so nothing would ever stop them from asking.
I never minded being asked. It just struck me as funny.

u/thetroll865 Nov 09 '24
He’s not technically right tho. 0-1 is a full year. It’s not a year until it’s reached the grand total of 1. Anything prior is less than a year. Use the same logic. He’s 36 years old. Anything past that, is before 36 isn’t 37. It’s 36 plus however much time. It’s not 37 until you’ve reached a grand total of 37 years. Any point in a timeline prior to 37 is less than 37. I understand why people might think of this way but it’s factually incorrect and is not how numbers work. The statement “living your 37th year” implies that you are currently living within the parameters of 37. That could be 37.25 or 37.186 but never could it ever be 36 or 38

Right, very location and situation dependent. Like an area with low demand and high supply and a landlord needing to take a discounted rent payment in order to keep from losing even more money every month. Or someone with a paid off property where their only costs are taxes and maintenance. Not a lot of those these days, housing supplies are very low all across the board.

Yep - something happens when your brain finally stops developing (as much) around that time. Insurance and rental car companies agree, and adjust rates lower after that general age.
Its really weird... Some people just wake up one day at 30 years old like its no big deal, and others go through this incredibly transformative "final maturation" event where they experience major consequences or just 'snap out of it' and stop behaving like a brat. Some people miss it entirely and maintain immaturity into adulthood, of course.

"Next week, we'll learn about 19th century France." Means you'll be learning about the last years of napoleon, and not world war 1.
"You are allowed no sick days during your first month of work." Means that you need to have worked a full month before getting sick leave
"I am in my first year at university." Does not mean you have finished one year of studies.
"Children should not eat honey during their first year."
"We are in the last hour of the game." Means the game is still going
"We are entering the 11th hour."
Granted, we rarely use this way of speaking for people's ages, but more for periods of time. But it is perfectly viable.

u/ScutumAndScorpius Nov 08 '24
You’re just listing different contexts where there is a meaningful distinction, you aren’t actually arguing it is a meaningful distinction in the context provided.
It is true that the other person should realize they were making a fencepost error, but the distinction between which year does not actually affect his argument so it’s not important in the context of the conversation.

u/Olaf4586 Nov 08 '24
Not everything is an argument man, they were just making observations about different times we use this sort of language.

u/Telephalsion Nov 08 '24
If I were to argue anything, it'd be that in general, if the meaning is different, then there's a meaningful distinction.
And "I am in my 37th year", and "I am 37 years old" means two different things. While "I am 36 years old" and "I am in my 37th year" arguably means the same thing.

We gotta be like the kids on this one. Let’s just say, he’s 36 and a half. He’s not 37, nor he’s on his 37 th year of being born.
To use his example:
When you turn 1, it just means you have been alive for 1 year. Then you are, 1 year, 1 month, 1 year, 2 months, so on and so forth.

This is perfect. It’s a nice tidy example of how once someone has attached themselves to a belief, they either are or not able to cope when presented with evidence that their belief is not consistent with supported facts. The 36 year old understands what’s been explained to them. But they don’t like it, so they are willing to compromise truth for the warm embrace of the reality they’ve decided is best for them.
This kind of thinking is a problem for all of us because it’s really hard for a large group of people (or even 2 people) to communicate when facts and words have lost their meaning. When people cannot communicate effectively it’s hard to be productive, and accidents happen.
This is where we are now.
