    No, that’s not true. A birth week recurs yearly, not weekly.

    A birth day is the day on which you were born, say Saturday, and you’ll have one of those every week.

    A birth week is the number of the week in which you were born, say week 14, and it takes a year before it’s week 14 again. Same interval as a birth month.

    A birth date only occurs once. It’ll never be July 4, 1981 ever again.

    This is all very normal and logical. Beep boop.
