1.5 deraadt 85: The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 after the 2nd
1.1 deraadt 86: of September.

1.10 aaron 88: few did not recognize it until the early 1900's).
1.5 deraadt 89: Eleven days following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the
1.1 deraadt 90: calendar for that month is a bit unusual.
