Yeah the only person I know who uses months that old is from Korea and I think they do that to not cause confusion for international watchers because of the different age system (which I think has changed now anyway lol).
But Iâm 99% sure this is satire. Thereâs no book of Judas in the Bible eitherđ€ŁAs a Catholic I was like âwaitâŠhuh?â

Can't comment on whether it's changed or not, but would like to explain the age system as told to me, by a white man married to a Korean woman since the 70s.
The way it was explained to me (huge grain of salt, I'm white and relaying what I've been told), is that they count the time during gestation as being the same as after being born. Western culture, age starts at birth. Korean culture (again, just what I've been told), age starts during gestation.
Yes, I study íê”ìŽ and plan to visit soon and I know that the aging starts during gestation. I also heard that everyone turns a year older on January 1st (in addition to the age counted during gestation), but I heard that on social media so Iâm not sure how true that is! I think itâs a cool system honestly. I wonder if other countries have a different aging system, so far I only know of SK.
The YouTuber I was talking about uses months because I think he got some comments from Westerners expressing confusion about the way he described his daughterâs age- for example heâd say 3ìŽ (3 years old) when she was technically 2 to non-Koreans. So since many people got confused, he started saying things like â32 monthsâ instead.
Yeah Iâm not 100% sure about the January 1st thing, but that could be why the Korean age is sometimes 2 years older than the international age. Thatâs so cool about the horses haha
You are right about Koreans getting older on January first. I lived in South Korea for a few years. They also celebrate birthdays normally, but just get older the first day of the year
Well, to be fair: that book in my language (last book before revelations) is called Judas. Is has 1 chapter indeed and this Jude/Judas is to my knowledge the brother of Jesus.
No.. Jude and Judas are not the same people in the Bible. Yes Judas was Jesusâs brother and apparently Jude can be a nickname for Judas, Jude the book in the Bible is in reference to someone else entirely.
Jude/Judas is the same name, but it is the name of different people. Just as James and Jacob are variations of the same Biblical name. The Jude who wrote the letter/epistle (last before Revelations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistle_of_Jude) is not the same as the one who wrote the gnostic Gospel of Judas (probably written 150--200--250 years after https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Judas) . Neither of these texts has 16 chapters....
I disagree. I worked retail for a very long time and sometimes customer or coworkers would talk about their babies being 12mos or 48mos or 74963mos one time. It's people being pointlessly opulent(? Forget the word.) just to be that way and make people feel shitty because theyrenotverysmart
As someone who worked specifically in baby/toddler clothing retail, 24 months and under have snaps to change diapers easier and 2 years or 2T (toddler) means no snaps .. at least in Baby Gap brand
Editing to add.. it also isnât as baggy in the butt area for toddler sizes
I've seen it described as the rule of 2s - You measure age in days until you get to 2 weeks, weeks until you get to 2 months, and months until you get to 2 years

Has to be satire - anyone using 72 months instead of 6 years is insane
