Not 9 years old...not 11 years old...but 10 years old. The child has lived for 1 decade.

Now I am aware that a multiple of ten is used with the 1st year not being being year 1 but instead is year 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9 but I personally do not...have not...and wil not count that way...thank you very much.
You just keep making yourself look dumber and dumber. You know why you method works above. Because you are talking about AGE. You START at age 0. You don't start a fucking decade at year zero. When you count on your damn fingers do you start with 0?

WTF is wrong with you, someone failed you miserably. You must not have made it far in school with those magical counting skills.
