Stop the geeks! For user interface we try (at least in that point) to stuck to linguistics, culture, habits, well to *people*... and not to mathematics or machine languages. Your arguments are void because you are not in the right context. We don't talk about "zero, a half, one, one a half..." but about "first, second, third" where you cannot *add* first and second - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

According to these teachers, the sequence of integers is: -3, -2, -1, ?, 1, 2, · Strange math. es: "That's what is meant: the *first* ("1") one has the number 0." Exactly: the *first* ("1") file one has the number (or key) 0; the second has the number/key 1, etc. Incidentally, in PSPad (a nice editor: http://www.pspad.com/en/), previous files are numbered from 0. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I also just want to mention: technicians are only a small amount of users... In races (of any kind) there's no starter having "0" on his shirt/car/bike... On roads, I have never seen a house named "0"... - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

For number words denoting a position in a sequence ("first", "second", "third", etc.), see Ordinal number (linguistics)." The rest of your examples are mixing up mathematics with linguistics... -> You say it yourself: "The first hour in a day is '0'". That's what is meant: the *first* ("1") one has the number 0. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Just a few comments: * The RecentDocuments list merely attaches shortcut keys to files. It does not tell the user to number his/her documents from 0. * Your reference to 'ordinal numbers' was useful. Wikipedia states: 'The finite ordinals (and the finite cardinals) are the natural numbers: 0, 1, 2, …,' Yes: '0' heads the list. *If Bell had numbered the telephone dial from 0, we would not have today different keypads for telephones and calculators or computers. As you know,'0'(not 10) follows the '9' on a telephone; weird math. *The first hour in a day is '0'.If a train is scheduled half an hour after midnight, it leaves at 0:30, not 1:30. *People who celebrated 2000 jan.1 did so 1999 --not 2000-- years after the (supposed) birth of Jesus. Why? because 'they' numbered years from 1, not 0. For the same reason, there are 99 --not 100-- between jan.1, 50 BC and jan.1, 50 AD. *If centuries had been counted from 0, we would have 1975 in century 19, not in the 20th century, and we would now be in century 20 --as expected, in the year 2010. *If OO headings were renamed Heading0...Heading9, one would not have Heading10 between Heading1 and Heading2 in the stylist. *As for OO being 'too technical', well, you cannot please everybody. Not all users are technophobic. If you extended the list beyond 10 files with letters, would people complain that your are numbering in hexadecimal? *Conclusion: I won't reopen the issue; I leave that up to you. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
