In the USA and Great Britain the Gregorian Reformation occurred in 1752.
|
|
By this time, most countries had recognized the reformation (although a
|
|
few did not recognize it until the early 1900's.)
|
|
Eleven days following September 2, 1752 were eliminated by the reformation,
|
|
so the calendar for that month is a bit unusual.
|
|
.Sh NOTE
|
|
In view of the chaotic way the Gregorian calendar was adopted throughout
|
|
the world in the years between 1582 and 1923 make sure to take into account
|
|
the date of the Gregorian Reformation in your region if you are checking a
|
|
calendar for a very old date.
