answer my question. I think you meant the following quote:</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 6pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">"R’ Micha <A
href="http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol13/v13n018.shtml#07"><FONT
color=#063e3f>Berger</FONT></A>, building on R’ Elozor <A
href="http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol13/v13n009.shtml#13"><FONT
color=#063e3f>Reich</FONT></A>, suggests that since the Torah asks us to count
<I>complete</I> days, perfect days, we count them as wholes, as integers.
<SPAN></SPAN>Thus we can count them at the beginning of the day, as Tosfos
requires – once a moment of the new day has passed, we are into the wholeness of
the day, and can count the whole day. <SPAN></SPAN>Otherwise, we would have to
wait for the whole day to pass before counting it, recognizing that another
whole day has passed. <SPAN></SPAN>That sounds vaguely plausible."</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 6pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">This does not
explain why weeks are different, they too require temmimos (sheva shabosos
temmimos) so why the difference?</P>
