Nono, sorry!  Add 1 to the exponent positions of each of those:

     'one second'   = 'second' (redundantly)

     'two second'   = 'minute'
     'three second' = 'hour'
     'four second'  = 'day'
     'five second'  = 'week'   (not sure about this actually.  Maybe I'd used month immediatyly
                                since weeks are so unaligned)
     'six second'   = 'month'
     'seven second' = 'year'

And to say 'I was born on May 16, 2003, I'd say:

'born I happen-when
     seven second three ten two and three      = year  2003
 and six second five                           = month five
 and four second ten and six                   = day   16
