Also, how would that work on things like birth certificates?

    I feel like celebrating on March 1st when it’s not a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then their birthday is the day after February 28.

        I feel like celebrating only on February 29th during a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then that’s their birthday and their rate of aging is slowed by %80.

          Your 80% claim doesn’t account for people who live through a year divisible by 100 but not 400.

          Children born today could feasibly turn 18 in 2096, but won’t celebrate their 19th birthday in 2100. They’ll turn 19 in 2104.

    Turned 13 today. I complain that my wife only buys me a present every four years. She says if I keep saying that, it may come true. Also, at work, I tell them to excuse my behavior, I’m just acting my age.

    As far as 28th vs March 1st, well, I celebrate both days. If I’m getting scammed out of birthdays three out of four years, I’m taking an extra day on those off years!
