Red face 30/60/90 Days or 1/2/3 Months?

Why is it that they call the first 3 milestones 30 days, 60 days, & 90 days, but the coins say 1 month, 2 months, & 3 months?

This presents some confusion, especially for newcomers (i.e. the same people who are celebrating these milestones). Depending on the meeting you're at and whether the birthday chair, meeting chair, whomever is counting days or months.

It's irrelevant at this point for me since I have 93 days right now, but this awkward situation unfolded at my Monday meeting:

Meeting Chair: I don't see any birthdays in the box; has anyone celebrated a birthday in the past week?

Me: Uh, I'm in the box, and I'm celebrating 90 days today.

Meeting Chair: I saw your card, and it says November 23rd.

Me: Yes, that was exactly 90 days ago. There were two 31-day months in between.

(awkward silence)

Me: I skipped volleyball league tonight for this, dammit, I want my token!

(awkward laughter)

...

So, my question is, WTF?
