Hi Abagogo ... I notice you're kinda new, although you were here a month or so ago. Humblest apologies for not welcoming you at the time, but I probably wasn't here yet - and if I was, I probably wasn't on the SAWC (self appointed welcoming committee). So, here ya go...
BELATED WELCOME
"six month anniversary" is a pet peeve of mine too. ("Should I go back and log it in those Pet Peeve threads from before?" she thinks, desperately trying to avoid having to get the link...) Nah, LIUYS...
I think we have all the romantics in the world to blame for this usage... you know, when you're so in l-u-r-ve that you count by minutes, hours, days, weeks and months. evil thought... is this because they don't think they'll make it to a 'real' anniversary'? "Oh honey, it's our 2 minute anniversary." ... "Sweetie, look we've made it to our 1 week anniversary! Mwa Mwa!" Ok, so I'm a cynic... but how often have you heard it in that context?
Hev
