"To err is natural; to rectify error is glory." --
George Washington (b. 1732-02-22[*], d.
1799-12-14; President of the US 1789-1797)

Recorded as 11 Feb. 1731-32 in the Julian calendar, which England
and her colonies used at that time; retconned to the equivalent
Gregorian date, 22 Feb. 1732, when the Gregorian calendar was
adopted in 1752. See a calendar for September 1752 for the
changeover (on a Unix/Linux computer, type "cal 9 1752"). Note
that different countries adopted the Gregorian calendar in
different years.
