@hyeyoo what's confusing is how you're born 1 in Korea. Should we make Lua the default language for mm ? blobfoxgooglymlem

OMG WHAAAAAAAT

I was going to say "NO IT'S NOT" but you are right. I don't know why we do this. I grew up with it and then everybody else doesn't use it :P

But I'd bet anyone who doesn't do programing prefer to count from 1 anyway.

And the reason why you count from the first floor is because you don't really think of ground floor as a floor.... the first floor is a proper floor! (so it's still counting from 1)

@hyeyoo yeah this is a fun and fascinating subject https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storey, you might even have two or three ground floors in some buildings in France, especially if the building is built on a slope: RdC, RdJ, RdCH, RdCB, Entresol, etc.

the problem regarding the broken aging system is that we fixed it legally, but people still use it everyday life. now even more confusion!

"how old are you?", "pardon, what do you mean by how old I am?"
