Difference between birth anniversary and birthday birthday
My father’s DOB is 17.08.1928 and I have gone on a dob dating for that day. What is the birthday of the boy 89
or 90?
Is there any relationship between birth anniversary and birthday celebration?
From the OED entry for birthday:
2. On the day before one’s birthday one year after one’s birth your father’s
current birthday is his 89th. The Anniversary or annual observance of the day of birth of any one… Therefore one’s birthday occurs one year after one’s birth, and your father’s birthday is his 13th.
