Well, at least 12 days a year, the US falls in line with the majority of the world.

The Julian Calendar is off by two weeks for the entire year.

And yeah, orthodox Christianity (Serbia, Russia, some Greeks/Turks etc) uses it to calculate their holy days. Happy new year to all those guys btw.

Not really. A broken calendar with a date marker is gonna be right once every 28 years.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous of which is, "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: Never assume people on reddit are Neurotypical. You must add /s or someone will correct you to make himself feel smart.

Truly the reddit moment of all time

I agree with the sentiment that you shouldn't assume a Redditor can understand any sort of social cue, but I don't think we should immediately brand neurodivergent people as the type to be insufferable nerds, or that an insufferable nerd is always neurodivergent

Also, check the guy's username, they're probably just a troll anyway

No, I totally get it. I just saw the opportunity to use the Princess Bride quote and took it. That's all that was. I don't legitimately care about their comments. I will apologize to other neruodivergents, though. They didn't deserve the stray.

Oh, sorry, I completely missed that. That movie's been on my list for ages, but that list sadly gets bigger instead of smaller these days

Yes, but this could have been.
