Regardless of the actual topic here, disregarding an opinion against something simply due to the fact that it's common does not make sense. It's just an appeal to popularity, a logical fallacy. Obviously, there is also a lot of Ad Hominem (another logical fallacy) on both sides here, making this whole argument look silly.

But the 24th birthday is the start of the 25th year, no? It means that the 24th year is now complete, so the next one starts. Like someone's first birthday, when they turn one year old, marks the end of their first year in life and the start of their second one. So the number of someone's birthday is the number of years they have behind them. That kind of phrasing is used rather frequently, so that may be where the confusion stems from.
