I imagine that this is why legal documents tend to say things like "within 30 days" and "we must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the first bill on which the error occurred". It is simpler just to concede that "one month" is not a well-defined interval of time. Or we could use lunar months - they are well-defined, down to fractions of a second. And lunar months are so ... primal? pagan? essential? But I ramble ... "How long will it take us to reach your capitol?" "One life of mother Moon" - "The Royal Hunt of the Sun"
