Yeah, not fair to mess with somebody’s birthday!
George Washington, I’ve read, complained, as well.
England and the colonies… of which we still were one… switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar when he was a young man.
His birthday was moved about a year and ten days!
Even though some states still give him his own separate holiday… he didn’t grow up thinking February 22nd was his birthday.
