I don't actually agree: the error message already contains a
human-readable column indicator in form of the single 1 in the line
below. The numeric column number is for the sake of computers and in
a computer-readable format, so it would make sense to have it look
just like expected from this format.
Personally, I find it sort of weird to start lines with 1 and columns
with 0, but the point of a machine-readable format is that everybody
does it the same.
I'd suggest that column 1 in Fortran is just called column 1 because
column 0 contains the ASA print control character
<URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASA_carriage_control_characters>,
but then I'd sound silly...
