The time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth is the lunar month and IS more
or less uniform. However, unlike the arbitrary and non-uniform calendar
month, the number of lunar months in a year is not an integer.

I know you know that, but for some reason it didn't come out right when you
wrote it. If I had done that, I would excuse it as a senior moment.
