    My inner computer scientist likes this framing, and understands its logic. My inner, and much less influential human being, hates it a lot AF.

      Even in the CS world, ordinal phrases are still 1-indexed (e.g. the first element of an array vs element 0).

        It’s actually pretty common to say 0th index, but it depends a lot on context.

          Sure, but that only applies when referring to indices or to the zeroth element specifically.
