Pleased to meet you, LuciW86
Thank you for the support of my position. And thank you for the serialization of your novel. I was intrigued enough by the latest installment to go back and start reading it from the beginning.

Is it just me?
You're not alone in your thinking.

? J Your preciseness is fine. Historically they even go to 93, 03, 13, 23, that is the third year of the next ten. An university professor said that the new decade begins with the third year in terms of historical change. This is the allowance for adjustment. For myself your preciseness is cool.

Go ahead and nitpick - some of us only take notice when that one accurate voice speaks out loud enough. We all have our pet peeves, and yours is at least sane and justifiable!

The nitpicking is optional here, but I cling tenaciously to my pet peeves. It's good to read someone else noticed the mathematical error perpetuated en masse. Further, I'm bothered by the Hollywoodization of prophecy, ancient religions, sacred text. But that's a peeve for a whole post, not a comment.

From one nitpicker, to another.
Non-poet,
I also, am inordinantly bothered by such small annoyances. We both must share the same character trait. (or lack of character trait!)
I can think of an exception to the general rule of counting days, to measure one's age, and many people are unaware of this specific legal exception. Human age progression begins with one's first breath. The newborn is legally a one day-old, when his or her personal clock begins ticking. For example, One attains the age of majority, (21 years of age, in the US) becoming a fully legally responsible adult, on the day before their birth anniversary.
Good luck trying to convince a bartender or a cop, about this, on your 21st birthday, though.
