[edit]Excepting February alone ...
[edit]Overheard in a shop on Tuesday afternoon:
Customer - Today is the last day of February?
Shopkeeper - No - yes, next in four years' time!
What do people know about the lengths of the months, which years are leap years and the distance between them? This question was asked last year, but the discussion was derailed when one responder told another to get off my lawn. 86.128.236.125 (talk) 23:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- See perpetual calendar. You can tell which day will be which date for as long as we use our current calendar, because it follows a strict 400-year cycle of 14 possible years. --Jayron32 00:42, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
