    Of course there can be an 0th year.

    Kids don’t start at 1 because they can’t be 0, you start counting by days weeks and months and then years. This wasn’t even a problem though, because in the 0th year people weren’t walking around referencing dates according to whatever calendar we use.

    If no years have elapsed then it’s the 0th year.

    It sounds to me as though some idiot named the 0th year “1”, which just happens to be a numeral.
