Harmonics.
In the old days, the "first harmonic" was twice the fundamental. Then everyone realised what a load of shite that was and started calling twice the fundamental frequency, the "second harmonic", thrice, the "third harmonic" etc.
Everyone realised that made more sense by a long way.
I therefore ask, why the fuck haven't we done something similar with centuries?
The 18th Century is the 1700s ->
The 19th Century is the 1800s ->
The 20th Century is the 1900s ->
etc.
It's bullshit.
