Or when it is not a "month" based on the Moon. For example, wikipedia says: Spain,[19] Portugal, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and most of Italy implemented the new calendar on Friday, 15 October 1582, immediately following Julian Thursday, 4 October 1582. So the month of October 1582 in those countries had only 20 days! -- __Pascal Bourguignon__
