The Gregorian cal...Finally!<br />A confirmatory avowal.<br /><br />The Gregorian calendar started from 15th October 1582 - in the Papist realms that is. Any dates prior to that, rendered in Gregorian, are merely proleptic only. Those who say that the 21st century of the Gregorian calendar started January 1, 2001, are wrong: technically, we haven’t even reached the end of the first Gregorian millennium yet - we’re still in the early part of the fifth Gregorian century. The convention of numbering the years is just that; purely a convention. And a convention only works as long as sufficient numbers of people are prepared to accept it. Most people would rather number the years from 0 than from 1, with appropriate corresponding numerical designations for the decades, centuries and millennia.<br />Therefore?<br />Christo-centric Calendrics are stupid.<br />The Classic Maya!<br />Now THEY had a calendar! And the world ain't gonna end at Winter Solstice this year either - that's just crap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-24923984642428501062012-01-31T16:33:15.772-05:002012-01-31T16:33:15.772-05:00Microsoft's Excel Spreadsheet Programme genera...<i>Microsoft's Excel Spreadsheet Programme generates a February 29, 1900 in it's date string coding </i><br /><br />Ask Joe if that date, let's change it to 2/28/1900 to avoid confusing him further, occurred in the 19th or 20th century. 18th isn't an option, Joe.<br /><br />Cuddles, Nice work on the Malkin title.
