I just typed "cal 1752" and got a calendar with a September that has no dates between Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 14th.
Although disputed by some, apparently the switch to the Gregorian calendar is also the basis for "April Fools' Day."

- schoen 2y agoI've been amused by this for a while, although I think when I first saw it I didn't realize that there was so much country-to-country variation in what year the Gregorian calendar was legally adopted. Maybe a better (or much worse!) behavior would be to show the switch in the current locale, so in ru_RU it happens in 1918, but in es_ES (or es_MX, es_CO, es_AR, es_PY, ...) it happens in 1582.
