Not in the standard Gregorian calendar. Those dates only exist in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The standard Gregorian calendar explicitly skips them. That's because you can't feasibly go back and change all the Julian dates that had been physically written down for centuries. That's why it's called the Gregorian "shift".
- NetMageSCW 2mo agoThe standard Gregorian calendar in which country?
- bloppe 2mo agoThe one introduced by Gregory. I'm not sure if countries that reformed later cared enough to use a different name, but the Gregorian calendar is pretty well defined.
