I'm not Linux savvy. What a strange looking month, only 2 1/2 weeks long. Though I had "lost" months like that during my dark phase in Australia. The British Empire used the Julian calendar until 1752 because they reckoned the Gregorian one was a Catholic Papish (why isn't it Popish?) plot to impose their ways. People thought silly things back then. Is that your own script? I’m not Linux savvy. What a strange looking month, only 2 1/2 weeks long.

But, yes, jesus, imagine the localisation issues that would have arisen in the 170 years when the Catholic west was running according to a similar but slightly different calendar to the Protestant west. Like the Americans' predilection for MM/DD but much more of a pain in the arse, I'm sure.
