@aschmitz augustus had them stop doing leap years for a while until it got back into sync when he noticed.

(obviously, by "important", i mean "funny")

an important thing to know about the ancient romans is that they couldn't fucking count

one could argue that they simply had a different convention by which they counted intervals inclusively (e.g. their 8 day cycle of market days being called "nundinae").

in counterpoint i offer that for the first thirty-six years after Julius Caesar reformed their calendar to have a regular leap day every four years, the priests in charge of the calendar accidentally did it every three years instead.

@Lady @Satsuma @wallhackio the nontrinitarian pentecostals do think that God = Holy Ghost = Jesus Christ. they just don't do the "3 persons" thing.

@Satsuma @wallhackio @Lady pentecostals at least care a lottt about the holy ghost. it's the bit that does the whole pentecost thing

rioplatense spanish is kinda relatively convenient for learning as a native english speaker.

since it saves on having to learn a couple of the not-present-in-english sounds used in many other dialects.

many speakers here don't distinguish /ñ/ from /nj/ (e.g. "cañón" is pronounced as "canion"). and of course, the famous sheísmo/zheísmo means that "ll" and "y" are pronounced with sounds already very familiar to english speakers (the english "sh" for most younger speakers of rioplatense)

@wallhackio @Lady what do you have against edging
