Well, not *exactly*, but: If today happens to be Wednesday, and an event occurred last Friday, I might say "a week ago Friday." Similarly, today, I could also say "it'll be two years at my new job next month." For an event that occurred approximately 310 days ago, I might say "less than a year ago," and for an event that occurred approximately 350 days ago, I might say "a little less than a year ago." Or did you forget to put the winky there, and I fell for it? 11 years, 2 months, 26 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, 27.4 seconds'ly yours, Dan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
