    Funny how it’s probably averaged out over 12 months instead or something.

      It must be the landlords, because it benefits them to scam their tenants out of three extra days.

        That’s why it’s averaged over each month, there for 6 months, you pay for 6 instead of 12.

          But if it’s averaged for a year and you only subscribe or whatever in February it’s less than the yearly average for a month.

            So…? Do you measure each piece of cake with a caliper…?

              There are an average of 30.437 days in a month so if you pay a monthly payment for your average February that’s 2.437 days off the average. That’s nearly 10% of a month.

              And yes if you are selling pieces of cake they should be the same size.

                You’re buying a whole cake and returning the sections you didn’t use. You’re cutting your own pieces…. It’s only your own fault if they aren’t perfectly identical.

                Also, every 4th feb has an extra day, so your math isn’t even correct anyways. Nice attempt.

                  You’re not returning anything if you pay per month and one month is shorter. Nice attempt.

                  Also, I said your average February not average number of days in February. Your average February has 28 days while your average number of days in February has obviously 1/28th more days. Just like your average person has two hands, it’s based on the average of the buckets not the average in the buckets.

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

                  The most frequently occurring number in a list is called the mode. For example, the mode of the list (1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4) is 3.

                    Why are you using mode instead of the standard average? You link averages, than quote a part from “mode” instead of the standard average.

                    Do you think that defends your point? That you’re intentionally using an obscure definition instead of the standard?

                    Also, sleazy as shit you edit your comments with different information after the fact.

                    Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?

                    Most of those pay by month are year leases, so yeah you’re agreeing to pay for the year, averaged

                    The returning was using an example to support my argument.

                    The average person doesn’t have two hands… that’s a completely false statement.

                    No one has 3 hands to bring the average back up, and by saying the average is 2, you are claiming no one has 1 or zero hands. Thats clearly false, so the average can’t be 2…

                    Isn’t averages taught in second grade…?
