Some people don't realize that they have to do math while writing. I hate doing math, but like most, only if it's regarding something I care about, like in this case. It's super important to do the math correctly; otherwise, people will correct you, saying things won't make sense or you're stupid, and you don't know your history.
For example:
Mother died in 2000
Her daughter was 16 when that happened.
The daughter was born in 1990
If the daughter was born in 1990 and the mom died in 2000, the mom would've been 33
2006 - 16 = 1990 (daughter's birthday)
2006 - 1973 = 33 (mother would've been 33 years old when she died.)
1990 - 1973 = 17 (mom would've been 17 when she had her daughter.)
If this makes any sense to anyone, then I've done the math correctly.
