Today is pilot Nicolas Akentjew's turn to experience that annual event miscalled a "birthday" which is more appropriately called birth-anniversary day. My theory on the etymology of the transition from "birth-anniversary day" to "birthday" is that "birth-anniversary day" doesn't fit the HBDTY music.

I know. You just tried it didn't you? HB-ADTY? Since you're in a singing mood already, go ahead and belt out a full round for Nicolas!

Happy BirthDay, Nicolas! Hope you have a great birth-anniversary day.
