I think it's S.Korea (citation needed) that uses this system of counting age already, although instead everyone 'ages' one year older on new years' eve/day, rather than celebrating the actual birthday
they are 1 on the day they're born, they age another year on new year's and again on their bday, they celebrate both basically (according to my korean friend)
Alright, well, let's explain this thoroughly.
Twitter user Jme very clearly says that your "1st birthday" is your second birthday. Considering that he was born in the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom counts birthdays the same way we do, it's clearly intended as a joke. See, he says that when you celebrate your 1st birthday, it is really your second one because you were obviously born on your birthday- it was your day of birth, however he clearly in the way he speaks calls it "Your 1st birthday" because of how it is counted across the globe, aside from very few location(s), such as the guest that mentioned South Korea, or lucky's mention of China. This location is obviously not South Korea or China. I pointed out that the "birthday number" is used as the same way age is, counting how many years you have been born into the world for. Nowhere did I insult any other country or belief, I simply pointed out the relation in the naming, "motherfucker".
^^^ bold of you, pissing_cat, to assume I am American, and that I'm also not the same guest at the start of the thread, who added an insightful comment to what obviously is a joke in the tweet, or a shower thought or whatever you Yanks call them. Don't need hours of research to understand that like you might.
I never assumed you were American? I was explaining it in the way that Jme has it- the birthday counter in his world- not yours, counts by how many years AFTER you were born. I don't care how you count it, I was just saying it for the way it's in the UK. I don't care how you or anyone else does it in this case, he's an Englishman so he follows the English way, simple as that, and he clearly means that in his tweet. Also, what do you mean "start of the thread"? **I** was the one who started this comment chain, completely separate from the South Korea comment. My comment was on the *Tweet*, not that South Korea does it differently. I really don't care how South Korea does it, I find it intriguing even
