I thought it was only a few days lost and that this was some bullshit "fact" to get clout on Reddit?

nibor48774yThe whole world didn't make the switch in the 1500s. Even then England hated Europe (really more to do with hating catholics), so only finally switched in 1752, when the whole country lost 11 days, except for the tax man, who refused to discount the 11 days, which is why our tax year starts on April 6th.

fun fact: when the world made the switch to the Gregorian calendar in the 1500's, we lost about 8 years in translation, so technically, this is the year 2012.
