Your confusion is you are trying to apply math to a linguistic construct. Language has definitions. Math has solutions. You refuse to recognize the distinction. And excuse me, now I have to scream.

Your confusion is you are trying to apply math to a linguistic construct. Language has definitions. Math has solutions. You refuse to recognize the distinction. And excuse me, now I have to scream.
****************************************************************************************
I am quite aware that language has definitions.

Now as I have explained before, if you want, you can certainly claim that a baby born on 1/2/2020 is now 1 year old and on 1/2/2029, you can try to enroll him in a program for children who must be at least ten years old.

However, due to the accepted definition, you’ll be told the child is only 9. And math also has definitions—very precise ones. Now your problem is you keep responding to me, and I’m not going to quit replying back.

So the solution is that if you want to end this—just stifle—and don’t post any more to me on this subject.
