What If I told you that the shortest month in the UK calendar wasn’t february? Well technically there’s a shorter one. Ok, not every year, in fact just one specific year: September 1752 looks like this:
September 1752
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
This is becase in this month we changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. The Catholic states had done this some 170 years earlier in October 1582. You need to lose 10 days or so in this changeover..
