Hi,
in the man page for cal there's a small error in section "bugs":
cal program uses the 3rd of September 1752 as the date of the
Gregorian calendar reformation -- that is when it happened in Great
Britain and its colonies (including what is now the USA). Ten days
following that date were eliminated by this reformation, so the
calendar for that month is rather unusual. The actual historical
dates at which the calendar reform happened in all the different
countries (locales) are ignored.
It should read "Eleven days following" instead of "Ten days
following", as the jump is from September 3rd to 14th. (cf. output of
cal 9 1752).
I checked the man page on
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/cal.1.html as well as my CentOS 6
installation.
I apologize for not submitting in the preferred format for patches,
that's my first report.
Best regards
Felix
