ysobelToday, duolingo informed me to say it updated my status to say "9+ years" (rather than 8).
I'm guessing it pinged today because I have a 3,285-day streak, which is 9x365; but my own records indicate it's since Nov 26 of 2014, not Dec 22. And anyway I'm grumpy because that doesn't include leap days.
(Technically, duo isn't *wrong*, because you can't hit a 3285-day streak in under 9 years. And coding checks for "multiples of 365" is easier than also storing associated dates.)
Anyway. Go me, except I need to learn not to look up if longer streaks exist because they do and then I feel pathetic for "only" having 9 years.
