A question about months

[Sirrus]

So, we would say that a month from today is March 17th, 2011, right? What would someone say is a month from January 30th?

[Ad Bot]

[Placid]

march first or second?

[_Rave_]

Early March

[?]

March second.

[*Magick* Mage]

April 3rd

[Gamefandan]

A month from January 30th. Duh.

[sir dooble]

I guess if you take a month as an average of about 27 ¹/₂ days, then a month from January 30th would be February 26^th.

But then again, that ignores the idea that a Month from now is just the same date, but in the month ahead.
Which means you can't consider a month away, to simply be the same date as now, plus a month.
Since months have different lengths, it makes it impossible. February in particular.

Why do I have a headache now.
