20?
Each culture defines the point from where age is counted differently. Some cultures count a persons age from the day they were born (1 day old... etc), others count the person to be a year old at the moment of birth.
Today's
Say it took a full term of 9 months for me to be born... although I already existed (or at least a portion of me existed) from the moment of conception, when I am born I'm labelled 0 days old. Where did those 9 months go?
As for the other standard, if I'm 1 year old when born... where the hell did I get the extra 3 months to make a year?
So basically I'm saying: I'm neither 19 years, 4 months and 23 days old, nor 20 years, 4 months and 23days old but more realistically 20 years, 1 month and 23 days old.
