I have another one for you - "birthdays" are really anniveraries of birth - to celebrate the year, for example, you would have to have the party the day before the birthday.
For example, Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January 8th, 1935. He was living his 365th day on January 7th, 1936.
Because we don't start counting at the "Zeroth" of anything - zero is a placeholder - a null digit, if you will.

over the course of say a 75 year life span you will lose about 2.5 months of actual years and you don't even know it.

Only if it's a Sunday.

Except it wouldn't be a full 365 days on his 365th day. You're counting that partial day 1 as a whole day, and that partial day 365 as a whole day. Just like if you started working at 8 am one day, for you to work a "whole day" (i.e., 24 hours), you'd have to work until 8 am the next day.
