The meaning of anniversary

I saw the headline of this article and wondered, "it is already a full year since the Occupy protests began?" Turns out even reputable newspapers like The Guardian are using terms like "six-month anniversary." Is this new usage, or has this been acceptable usage for a long time I just didn't know?

Relationships are very shortlived now a days. So celebrate when you can.

I dread the day when wives demand monthly "anniversary" gifts, birthdays, and Valentines day.

a six month anniversary makes no sense
