“82 and 83 two years.”

Sorry, but academics speak in terms of academic years. September 82-May 83 is a single academic year. When someone says so-and-so went to college for 2 years, they’re talking about academic years, even though the time period in question covered pieces of 3 separate calendar years. Know any 4-year college graduates who say they attended college for 5 years?

An Obama attorney could have drafted the statement...hence the two years.

Pretty much everyone at BYU.
