No, I was referring to the use of ordinals for days and cardinals for years,
although they in both case refer to a rank! After all, originally years were
counted using ordinals, and it is this change from ordinals to cardinals that
brought this nonsense discussion about whether the first year of the 21th
century was in 2000 or 2001 :) . If we had carried on using ordinals, the
question would never have been there, because no sane person would have ever
claimed that there was a "zeroth" year ;)))) .
