neutral  pidzej: february, march and april do not a quarter make// can, september to december looks like four months; accountants like to quote 2005Q4 figures and then there's no room for say a mid-September to mid-December quarter
3 hrs
  -> and your point being? the sentence as it is sounds very approximate

neutral  Can Altinbay: Usually September to December, but for fiscal years, it would often be from January. pidzej - the months you quote do not correspond to any season, and February is not in autumn in either hemisphere.//Ge, I don't know. Why not August then?
10 hrs
  -> and what makes you want to be so exact about that sentence? PS august is not exactly autumn, is it?
