Talk:ISO 8601 and computing differences between dates
Incorrect count[edit source]
I believe the calculation of the time that passes from (Western) Christmas, 2001, to St. Valentine's Day, 2003, is incorrect. In the list below, first the date is shown, and then what a person would be thinking as he/she counts days on paper calendars. The result is 1 year, 1 month, 20 days, not 1 year, 1 month, 10 days. Since 20 days is stated elsewhere in the article, I will correct it.
Dec 25 2001
Dec 25 2002 1 year
Jan 25 2003 1 month
Jan 26 2003 1 day
Jan 27 2003 2 days
Jan 28 2003 3 days
Jan 29 2003 4 days
Jan 30 2003 5 days
Jan 31 2003 6 days
Feb 1 2003 7 days
Feb 2 2003 8 days
Feb 3 2003 9 days
Feb 4 2003 10 days
Feb 5 2003 11 days
Feb 6 2003 12 days
Feb 7 2003 13 days
Feb 8 2003 14 days
Feb 9 2003 15 days
Feb 10 2003 16 days
Feb 11 2003 17 days
Feb 12 2003 18 days
Feb 13 2003 19 days
Feb 14 2003 20 days
