Sarah Wynn-Williams had a front-row seat to some of Facebook’s most consequential (and controversial) moments. These are some of the most shocking claims from her memoir, Careless People.
Different cultures count differently. eg Jesus was not born in zero AD but in one AD. His whole first year of life he was considered to be in his first year.
I think some countries count age this way too (hopefully someone can confirm to satisfy my nerdy curiosity).
I was saying that apart from rounding up there is also this convention. I agree it is not important - am just nerding.
BC means Before Christ. Since Jesus Christ obviously was not born 4 years before he was born, are you saying his real birthdate was found to be different from what it was initially thought to be but it was too late to change the numbering system?
EDIT: The date of the birth of Jesus is not stated in the gospels or in any historical sources and the evidence is too incomplete to allow for consistent dating. However, most biblical scholars and ancient historians believe that his birth date is around 6 to 4 BC.
Thanks. I did not know that until you had me look it up.

Not sure what you’re talking about.
I was just saying that rounding is a normal thing to do and not lying.
Also Jesus was born in like 4 BC.
