Most things engineers do, I can understand and agree with, in fact I frequently claim membership to that club myself.
But when it comes to counting ....!!!!
When you question a numbering schema, you get
"I count from zero, I am an engineer."
delivered with all the self-righteousness of a PC-correct female secondary school teacher (you know the sort I mean).
Nggggghhhhhh!!!!!!
I understand the electronic logic behind such a statement, but who points at the first widget in a sequence and says "Zero, ..."?
It's so bloody illogical that it's unbecoming of the profession.
