Common mistakes

The user expects date logic instead of pure duration conversion.

Fix: Use a date-difference or timestamp tool if calendar dates matter.

Month and year results are treated as exact calendar intervals.

Fix: Remember that general unit conversion may use standard approximations for months and years.

The source and target units are reversed.

Fix: Check the input order before converting.
