So.... The crazy thing is that when we are given a date in history, say October 14, 1492, which calendar are they referring to? Because won't October 14 in the Julian Calendar be 10 days earlier than same October 14 in the Gregorian Calendar? In 1582 there wasn't even an October 14. I'm confused...
