About these units
Month (mo)
One twelfth of an average Gregorian year: 30.436875 days. Calendar months actually range from 28 to 31 days.
Month and Moon are cognates, and the unit began as the Moon's cycle of phases, about 29.53 days from one new moon to the next. The trouble is that 12 of these fall short of a solar year, so calendars have had to choose. The Islamic calendar stays purely lunar, so its year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, while the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, using a 19-year cycle with an extra month. Even the start of a lunar month is still debated between observing the crescent and calculating it.
Gregorian months are a compromise that drifted far from the Moon. Their lengths run from 28 to 31 days, and this site uses their mean of 30.436875 days, one twelfth of the average year. The names also keep Roman history: September to December preserve the Latin numerals for seven to ten, since they were originally the seventh to tenth months, and Quintilis and Sextilis were renamed for Julius Caesar and Augustus. When a contract says month, check whether it means a calendar month or thirty days.
1 month = 2,629,746 seconds (exactly).

Score (score)
Twenty years. Familiar from 'four score and seven years ago' (87 years) in the Gettysburg Address.
Score meant a notch cut on a tally stick. The word is related to Old Norse skor, and because people often counted in twenties, every twentieth notch was cut larger, so the word came to mean twenty. As a unit of time, a score of years is 20 years, about 631 million seconds on the Gregorian calendar.
The best known use is the opening of the Gettysburg Address, delivered on 19 November 1863, where Lincoln spoke of four score and seven years ago. That is 87 years, which counted back from 1863 reaches 1776 and the Declaration of Independence. Wikipedia notes that the word also appears loosely as scores of, meaning a large unspecified number. A score is two decades, and five scores make a century.
1 score = 631,139,040 seconds (exactly).
