    Nope. It is just a one point difference.  I have not idea as to why tennis counts the way they do.

    Strange, isn't it? And all the LOVE, wonder what it counts?

    Love in tennis is zero so it counts for nothing.

    Zero LOVE, huh? Tennis isn't that lovely after all. ;-)

    I thought I was in love at 15.  I thought I was in love at 30 and again at 40.  So NO.

    It stopped at 40? Darn rotten tennis. You deserve another round! Let's change the counting system.

    I didn't say I ever stopped.  (I did not) But that is as far as the question went. LOL

    Hi Sapphic good to see your smiling words.

  • Weren't you taught in school to count on your fingers? Or did you have calculators from the beginning?
