When us older people were in grade school, we were taught that zero is not a number, but that it is a place holder. Now, I've been told by the bank and by young kids that zero is a number, b/c they need it in the computer world so they won't run out of numbers. I guess it's been recruited into service. What do you think about zero ? Should we teach toddlers and pre-preschoolers to count from zero to ten ?

We teach negative numbers and use a number line with zero at its center. While starting at 1 makes more sense (maybe cuz I'm old), the concept of zero should be part of math curriculum, not just its function as a place holder

I miss a lot of good people she harassed and censored, too, Ducky. Can't fault them for leaving, though.

Recent years the high school football schedules begin with week zero. Makes no sense to me.

If what attracts you link to the 3705 is less link its collectability and roots in the past and more its bare-bones form-follows-function design which gets harder and harder to find every year as brands seem to find greater profit in link upcharging for what are essentially illustrations of tool watches rather than tool watches then I think the Homage To 3705 is worth serious consideration. It's a terrific watch.
