Heh.  I once had a classroom assignment to program what we now do with a
minus sign between two dates.  It sticks in my mind because it is the
only classroom exercise which has come up in my real work.

I still have a fondness for the phrases "intercalary day".  Trouble is,
it's so hard to work into a conversation.  Thank you for giving me this
chance <grin />.

On the other hand, I think that intercalary seconds are an evil
abomination.

Cheers,
Terry.
