Is this a similar output error?

ChronicDuration.output(ChronicDuration.parse("18 months")) => "1 yr 6 mos -5 days"

I assume this is a bug, but I am not really familiar with all the time issues:

ChronicDuration.parse("18 months")           => 46656000 
ChronicDuration.parse("1 year 6 months") => 47088000

from chronic_duration.

yes it seems my changes introduced that . . .

So it seems correct in a way.

what exactly is 18 months 18 * 30 * 24 * 3600, but 1 year 6 months should be (6 *30 + 365) * 24 * 3600

so I think we should preserve those differences when we parse. But output needs to be something more like 1 year 5 months 25 days or 18 months.....
