- meesterdude 11y agoI did not intend to mislead; i was thinking more about objects and ruby than mathmatics with the title

- Moru 11y agoI was directly thinking dates when I saw the headline :-) I too have had my share of problems with date handling. One year is not always 52 weeks, A month is never 30 days, most days have 24 hours (but not all of them) and so on... Not to mention the famous D/M/Y, M/D/Y, Y-M-D ordering problem...
