It would be better to make it a special month. Nicer for people born on those days than being born on the Unmonth.


Nah. "My birthday transcends your small-minded definition of 'months'. I was born outside of time. I'm above it."

Excel would throw a fit, but I propose that numeric date formats handle these unmonthed days as follows:

US-en: __/01/1989, GB-en: 01-__-1989, ISOish: 1989-01-__

That Javascript format: Blessed ___ 01 1989 15:42:03 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)


Would being born on the unmonth day be any worse than being born on Feb 29?
