One term which my wife and I coined and which I've been trying to add to the English language to replace the awful and wrong phrase "month anniversary" [as in "March 11 is the six month anniversary of the WTC attacks"] is "monthiversary". Clear and obvious in derivation and meaning. Using the Latin rather than English stem ["mensaversary"] might be better for some purists, but is far less clear. Anyone else like "monthiversary" as a term?

What drives me CRAZY is "one-year anniversary" and "five-year anniversary," etc.
