[REBOL] Re: Millennium + 1 ...

From: lmecir:mbox:vol:cz at: 3-Jan-2001 21:11

I do agree, that the majority of people (even me e.g.) like to say "first to the left" or "first to the right". Schematically spoken, 1 A.D. 1 B.C. My problem with the counting is, that: 1 A.D. - 1 B.C. = 1, not 2, as the scheme 1 - -1 is trying to convince me. In a different wording: if I don't have zero, I can't get a negative number.
