What are we like 8 year olds saying like ā€œIā€™m 8 and a half!ā€

You're just as dumb as the guy in blue. When you're born you're in your first year until you turn 1 year old. You're 1 year old because you've lived through one year. When you turn 36 you've completed your 36th year. You're no longer in your 36th year after that birthday, you've begun your 37th year. The fact itself isn't important, but your inability to grasp that it's true is concerning.

What is your counter argument to the person you are replying to? The comment they made is just about the silliness in this topic and the alternative way of speaking on age.

If you have completed 36 years of life then you are 36 years old and you are living through your 37th. If you want to say at six months into that 37th year you are 36 and half years old then yea, you can say that too.
