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
