This comes off as very "well akchtually"; more snarky than helpful.<p>A great example:<p>>It is normal that the Sept-, Oct-, Nov-, and Dec- months are numbered 9, 10, 11, and 12<p>>False. This is very weird. They used to be months 7, 8, 9, and 10, but some reform to the Roman calendar back in the day resulted in the creation of January and February, which messed everything up.<p>No software project cares what the calendar looked like during the roman empire. Sure, its quirky that OCTober is month 10 instead of 8. Doesn't affect anything at all.<p>> The current year is 2020<p>> False. It’s the year 5780 in the Hebrew calendar.<p>Obviously, anyone who says "the current year is 2020" is talking about the Gregorian calendar that everyone is familiar with. If your wife asked to have dinner at 7pm, are you going to scold her for not specifying the implied UTC offset? Its silly to even bring up.<p>That said, I will never willingly write code that deals with times / calendars.
