With what you know of the difference between these types of numbers, can you explain why the
year 2010 in ”January 1, 2010,” really is 2010 and not 2009? (Hint: you can’t pick years at random.)
It’s 2010 because of the cardinal way of thinking??
Yep, there’s no Zeroth year. We don’t even have that word in English because zero mean “nothing” so it can’t be the beginning of something.
