FAR threshold correct numbers vs 'months'

Currently the analysis index states, eg

These significant alerts indicate the presence of a candidate with a false alarm rate (FAR) of 6.34e-8 Hz (one per six months)

This is incorrect for what the actual threshold is - 6.4e-8 Hz = 1/(6 * 30 * 86400s) - and makes the reader guess about what a 'month' is in scientific terms.
