Ha, you're right! This was originally "in the 15 versions since 1.0", but I introduced an off-by-one error during refactoring.

I started noticing things like this years ago, when my small town's July 4th parade committee kept saying things like "the 150th parade since ..." when someone had clearly just subtracted the two dates without thinking. All I could ever get for a response was "They probably skipped a year once."

That sounds right. The parade this year is “the first parade since last year”. The parade in 2011 was the first parade since 2010 and the one in 2012 was the second since 2010.

I’m about to eat breakfast and it will be my first meal since dinner last night.

This is the first time we've had this discussion on LWN since the last time.
