And that was obvious when days were routinely described by those labels, today and tomorrow both being "ante diem [bis] sextum Kalends Martius". Nowadays it's just as obvious to the masses that --02-29 is the intercalary day, that being the day label that doesn't occur in a regular year. But Gregorian months suck; I prefer ISO 8601's ordinal days. So it's obvious to me that --366 is the intercalary day. Potential shift of most people's birthdays, if months go out of fashion? -zefram _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
