Pop-up notifications appear at the most inopportune moment and here you are again, forgetting about an important meeting or business, which yesterday you seemed to remember for sure. Where can I find cool templates for printed calendars? I want something unusual with bright illustrations or a minimalist design that will be in harmony with my desk or room.

Today, there are a huge number of sites where you can find templates for every taste. There are many original designs that will definitely attract attention, and for fans of minimalism, simplicity and functionality are simply great. Personally, I have encountered a similar choice and printable calendar has helped me out more than once, especially when you want to quickly and easily make something of your own, unique.

Does replacing the Gregorian calendar with some other one that works the same but has a better leap year rule count?

One example would be the Revised Julian calendar, which currently has ecclesiastical usage in several Eastern Orthodox churches.

While the Gregorian calendar has 2 leap years ending in 00 out of every 8, the Revised Julian one has 2 out of 9. The resulting average year length of 365.2422... days is more accurate than Gregorian 365.2425.

The two calendars will be the same until Monday, 2800-02-28.

The two calendars will be the same until Monday, 2800-02-28.

Well, since there isn't any detectable difference, it resolves NO.

Makes sense.

There are likely detectable differences prior to that date if one looks at religious uses (date of Easter), but that is outside of the scope of the question, I suppose.
