I often hear people say that this is their first time doing something. For example, an SNL host will open their monologue by saying that this is their first time hosting. Or an expectant mother will say that this will be her first child.

But can something really be first if there are no others in the series? If I run around a race track by myself, does that mean I came in first place?

No, but this seems to prove my point. Something cannot be first if there is no last.

You are wrong.

How so?

Merriam-Webster defines first as "preceding all others in time, order, or importance".
