Also, how would that work on things like birth certificates?

    I feel like celebrating on February 28th when it’s not a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then their birthday is the day before March 1.

      I feel like celebrating only on February 29th during a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then that’s their birthday and their rate of aging is slowed by %80.

        Your 80% claim doesn’t account for people who live through a year divisible by 100 but not 400.

        Children born today could feasibly turn 18 in 2096, but won’t celebrate their 19th birthday in 2100. They’ll turn 19 in 2104.

        A year, basically, since you were born after the 28th but also before the 1st, so the next year before the first would already be a year again. Mar 1st would be a year and a day, technically.

      If you want to argue for celebrating on the 28th, I would argue that you are actually 1 year older the day before your birthday. That is why you can buy alcohol the day before you turn 21. At least where I live.
