can't forget the great pollster Celinda Lake explaining to a voter in a focus group what a trimester is (the first third of pregnancy) only to have him say: What's that in months though? Dividing 9 by 3 was too much math. 'Don't know much about history/don't know much biology' 🎶

To be fair, it's not actually 9 months; human pregnancies are ~ten lunar months/menstrual cycles or 40 weeks/280 days long - much easier to count!
