Depends really, if February, April, June are those months involved then I'd say the 155 days is longer

I work with delivery dates all the time and I automatically convert to DARO (Days After Receiving Order).
If I didn't, 5 Months and 1 Day sounds longer.

How about .42 years?! :rolleyez:

Click to expand...

Think of it more like, there's 155 days until BLAH or there's 5 months 1 day until BLAH. Which sounds like it will take longer to get here?

First, congrats on the new member to the family! =P

Second, at very first glance or if someone was saying it to me, 5 months 1 day sounds longer.

most people use 30 days as avg month x 5 = 150, 150+1=151 < 155

I quote the gubmint all the time, and they always go by days vs. weeks, or months. So I'm used to that format. :smile:
