4May-1May is meaningful to me, and frankly I do believe that it is meaningful to you. I do not think you have thought about what we are saying at all, and think it's shocking that you have an opinion about something you clearly don't understand.

Great, but it isn't addition.

Well you're wrong.
Consider 1Mar-28Feb: Should this be 1 or 2?
This proves it can't be subtraction (in the arithmetic sense) either.

Subtraction is only addition if 4May-1May is equivalent to 4May+-1May which leaves you with an additional problem: What to do about negative plaindates.

I've probably thought about it too much at this point. You don't even know how arithmetic works, so I think if you have anything to say it will be too difficult for me to understand.
