I had to laugh at the announcement on my account page. Is there a leap month or some strange time interval going on? Then marvelled at how those months have passed reading here on these blessed pages. It really does pass quicker when one is enjoying one's self. Well worth the occasional passing some change into the hat when needed.

Not the first time
It's not the first time that I've seen that announcement. It's happened before. I think that there might have even been an explanation for this, although I've forgotten what it was.

I'm not sure why it works that way
but happy anniversary anyway
Sort Of....
My surmise when this came up in 2015:
It's Been Doing That...

...for a while now. I'm not an admin or programmer, so all I'm going by is observation and people's blog entries on the subject.
That said:
When the increments all went by weeks rather than months, "x years, 52 weeks" was relatively common (since that's only 364 days) and went away in a day or two when the actual year end was reached . But months don't have that problem, and "12 months" seems to stay on, from my random check, until it gets to "(x+1) years, 1 week" or possibly "2 weeks". It does still list weeks if it's less than a month. I have the vague notion that I checked Dorothy's page seven or eight days after she mentioned "12 months" in a blog a while back and it hadn't changed yet, so one week may not be enough.
