Makes perfect sense…

Again, not what I prefer…and obviously not what you prefer… but not wrong.
When you turn to chapter 2 and there are 10 pages and you've read none of them, you want to see that there are 10 pages to go. There are not 9 pages to go. You are reading 10 pages. You are not reading 9 pages. Pages do not have a 0. The lowest number is 1.
