So this was a funny thread on GAF that I am stealing.

Lots of games have a Lives system, especially older games. But when you are on your last life, i.e. the next time you die will be game over, should the lives show as x0 or x1? Which is better? :)

I actually prefer x1. x0 makes me think I don't have any lives, which... wouldn't that mean I'm dead...? It doesn't really matter either way, I just prefer x1 a bit.

I always preferred Life x0 because it shows the player that you have no more extra lives should you die during the level. Life x1 always bothered me because it confuses the player to believe that we have an extra life before we see the Game Over screen. Naturally that life would either be used to actually try to complete the level or just be dumb and explore the level. Thus it will always surprise me that I see the Game Over screen when my game ended at Life x1 rather than Life x0.
