Is a person born on 1993-08-01 a year old on 1994--07-31? I don't understand. The examples that I showed went from the last day of a month to the last day of another month. You justify a manifest inconsistency in the results by reference to an example that goes from the first day of a month to the last day of a month?? > > > I'd call this unreasonable, inconsistent, anomalous -- especially > > when on the same website you do 1993-01-31 plus 1 month, it > > gives you 1993-02-28 (as I'd expect). > > You're entitled to your opinion.
