 Shouldn't we, rather than flaming on about some particular usage,
be suggesting reasonable new usages?  (After all, if you're not part
of the solution, you're part of the problem.)  My own two cents would
be to propose "workmonths" to replace "man-months".  I, quite humbly,
thing that term more descriptive of whats going on than the original!
After all, people do differ in their capabilities, and in their 
propensity to actually work, as opposed to standing by the water cooler
discussing the latest baseball game, flirting with the boss's secretary
(nonsexist usage, Female programmer flirting with male secretary included!)
etc.  Am sure some peoples ratio of "worktime" to hours-on-time-sheet
could cause problems for your floating point divide instruction...
