For the purposes of your argument over the Sox player, I have no issue calling him 26... But if he were filling out forms and it asked his age, it would be factually incorrect to write 26. He is, by definition, 25 until his 26th birthday.

I'm 22

I'm surprised at the poll results and suspect it's based on a bunch of old guys trying to hang on to their "youth".

For all intensive purposes, CHUSE is 41

According to one of those dumbass music quizzes, I'm 74.

This is not true. We know you get around, but there is no way you had your first kid at 11 years old.

I'm 22

Not how many kids you have.

Right, but this is something you and I have talked about. I'm not arguing that the man is 26 for legal purposes. I'm saying that in a conversation, calling him 26 colloquially is more accurate than calling him 25, when in fact, he will legally be 26 in 16 days and he will be 26 during the entire upcoming baseball season. America's argument is as silly as if I had remarked that shopping at Mariano's was a pain in the ass this morning as there were a million people there and it was a zoo and America started questioning the number 1,000,000 and argued that there are no animals at the grocery store.

I am 40 years and 257 days, so I say I am 40. It has nothing to do with hanging on to my youth. That's been gone for a long time.

I thought your original point was going to be about fetuses. In that case, I would answer that if fetuses are people, why don't they have Social Security numbers?

How old am I?
