Line 224: :First, it's discontinuous based on where the results of the program are being understood. Second, it's discontinuous because it was not used before certain dates (which depend on location). :: No, both calendars are continuous. Just because one was adopted at a certain date, doesn't mean the calendar is discontinous. Both calendars have current day usage, and the Gregorian ~~calandar~~calendar is proleptic, that is, dates previous to its ''inception'' are "present" down to January 1st, year 1 --- no matter when that calendar was adopted. The only discontinuity is when showing a specific calendar, and then a different calendar, during the switchover (when one calendar was "dropped", another adopted for common use). The problem would be solved if, when showing that "split" calendar, which dates are Julian, which dates are Gregorian. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger\|Gerard Schildberger]] 18:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC) -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger\|Gerard Schildberger]] 18:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC) Line 235: :::I still like the calendar page shown which is about the same as the full 31 October days with 5 to 14 October crossed out with a felt pen which wasn't available then. Neither did they know the word 'proleptic'. However, it's a pity that they (well, Gregor) dropped my birthday :-( --[[User:Walterpachl\|Walterpachl]] 19:21, 22 August 2012 (UTC) :::: You were born in 1752? Sheesh, you're almost as old as dirt. Aside from that, Pope Gregory XIII (and his [or a] scientific advisor and primary author of the reformed calendar: Aloysius Lilius, AKA: Luigi Lilio, or Liuigi Giglio, or Aluise Baldassar Lilio) didn't know about the word ''preleptic'', but it was proclaimed (via a ''papal bull'') that the reformed calendar was as if it was in effect (back) to January 1st, year 1. Note that the reformed calendar (later called the Gregorian calendar) was made effective the 24th of February in 1582 for the Catholic clergy, and it furthermore exhorted Catholic sovereigns to adopt the reformed calendar. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger\|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:29, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
