You can't figure out how month is the middle unit of precision between year and day?

    you say that like its not arbituary. if i say "it happened on january" you know already roughly when this takes place. if i say "it happened on the 7th" okay 7th what? what are you saying?

    The information is implicit in every case, that it happened on the most recent instance of that date.

    It's 11/7/26 today.

    7th? Happened 4 days ago. January? Happened 6 months ago. 90s? Happened 30 years ago.

    You're being intentionally obtuse. Nobody is claiming confusion. (It's also somewhat moving the goalposts, but we'll ignore that). Unless it's a written article, in which case the month will be outdated in a year anyway, and it's bad practice to not specify the full date.

    you say that like its not arbituary.

    How is going from small -> big or big -> small somehow more arbitrary than starting in the middle of that scale?

    What scale are you using that the month isn't on between the day and the year?
