Just to be pedantic, on your birthday you are almost exactly a year older than you were on your previous birthday. (The only reasonable exception being birthday 0, having no prior birthday from which to be a year older.)

On a practical note can you imagine writting your age as I dunno what mine be... 26+250/365.25, or whatever and even so be inaccurate by so many hours, and then have to change it every day, that would just be silly... on which point I'm suprised we don't all do things that way. smiley - smiley
