>18 years, 6 months and 22 days. Correct. I don't understand why you say it's a bad definition. Use pen and pencil.

Cetin, try this. Do it with the above - {^1988/02/29}, {^2006/09/21}
18 years, 6 months, 22 days.

Now try it with {^1988/03/01}, {^2006/09/21}
18 years, 6 months, 20 days

It should only be 1 day less than the first attempt, not 2 days.
