Or better, written out in full:

  The 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...

  The historical dates on which the calendar reform actually happened
  in the different countries (locales) are ignored.
