In *any* Western (and most other civilizations) chronology. When does a
month begin? Day 1, not Day 0, what's January when giving dates in
short form? Month 1, not 0 (the first day of the year is 1/1, not
0/0). And in 12-hour time, there's no 0 hour, it starts with 1. Of
course, 24-hour time starts with 0.
Also, the Mayans used 0 in their calendar.
