Bullshit.
Every programmer knows that
'A'in['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']would be the 0th item; the first item is'B'1st would be 'B', first is 'A'
If you want to be both wrong and confusing
If you want to use correct English and be clear don't use ordinals: Say "index 0, index 1" etc
Save ordinals for contexts without indices: the first time through this loop, the last record"
