A good history lesson.

I remember about the change in the calendar story, imperfectly, from childhood when my 4th grade teacher told about Great Britain making the change after George Washington was born, thus he had “two” birthdays and we celebrate the 2nd Gregorian Calendar one on Feb 22.

Yes George has two birthdays: February 11, 1731; and February 22, 1732.
