Poll: Worst Date Ever

[Nitefly]

A question came up at work today that caused great debate and it truly feels custom designed for GD.

What date is one month after 31 January (in a non-leap year)?

You must pick a date - no fence sitting.

Go!

28th of February?

28 February

I suppose the next question is what is one month after 30 January? It's still 28 February.

Why? Just cuz

Top level work chat.

How's your bad manager bro?

28th of Feb, given that a month is not a delineated unit of time.

It's definitely not the 3rd of March.

I can't wait to hear what 'great debate' this caused amongst your intellectual crowd at work.

No but could be 1st or 2nd depending on which month we're using to define month. "What is one January after January?"

We should go to each month being 29.53 days long.

Meh what a let down, came into thread hoping it was a chick with a **** type of worst date.

A calendar month is what it is. One calendar month, after the last day of any month, is the last day of the next month.

More confusing is what day/date is exactly 'one month' on from the 30th January....?

This second question - as has already been identified weringo - was the bit that caused some people to reassess their answer to the first.

Or one month from 29th..

All the same date...?

That's not confusing, it's just non-sensical. It's like asking how many bananas there are in a light year.

Still 28th Feb as no unit of measure exists for a month unless you caveat the definition of month to the average length of a month or take the best or worst case scenario of 28 or 31 respectively.
