Someone once asked (I think) Ruth Bader Ginsburg how many women had to be on the SCOTUS in order for it to not be biased towards men. Her answer was "All nine of them. After all, it's been all nine men before and no one thought that was special"
I am, of course, quite heavily paraphrasing.
I mean it's all pretty generic. Would pretty much apply to helping someone with any task, with a few exceptions.
Maybe my beholder has a thing for incidental antagonism?
The trick to make this stop is to be an expensive text-to-speech engine.
Well, it's just how math and numbers in English work.
Cardinal numbers, the number of things you have, start with zero because you can have none of something (or less with negatives, but that's neither here nor there).
Original numbers, Numbers that show which things were in what order (first, second, etc) start at one, because you can't really have a zeroth something because then it would really be the first one.
So year 1 is 1 because it's the first year, and it starts the first century. It would have been entirely possible for English to make the names a little nicer, but given that it isn't, the math means the first set of one hundred years are the years before the one-hundredth year and cetera.
The queer community can be incredibly discriminatory against the bi part of itself
Or the trans part of itself. Or the questioning part of itself. Or probably the lesbian and gay parts, let alone the +. It sucks, but it turns out queer folks are just, well... Folks. So we gotta work on that.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and my pet beholder happens to think your soul is beautiful.
Worth noting that the 1700s are, in fact, the 18th century. The first century was the years from 1-100, the second century from 101-200, etc.
But, yes. It was invented later in the 18th century than our audience came from.

It is a thinking engine. No further questions.
And, well... They're not super wrong about how mapped earth is. They just misjudge the sheer, enormous amount of detail we need (which keeps growing with our ability to get more of it), along with the fact that sometimes it changes a bit.
But then otherwise we would have a year +0 and a year -0. You really want that on your conscience?
