FYI - Mathematical logic is no match for human custom, however, which greatly complicates matters. Over the centuries, the calendar has been revised repeatedly. When Britain and its colonies switched from the Old Style Julian calendar to the more astronomically correct Gregorian calendar in 1752, by act of Parliament September 14 immediately followed September 2--a loss of 11 days. Strictly speaking, then, the 18th century was 11 days shorter than previous and subsequent centuries. Moreover, the packaging of years into decades, centuries, millenia or other units is more often a convention of convenience than of precision, and so may not be bound by strict rules of mathematical rigor. -Scientific America

Richnorth, Thank you for your reply from August, which was "lost" by me when they changed the boards and inbox system here.
