#3Proper calendar reform would return New Years Day (Spring Equinox, currently 21st March) to 1st March. That would also have the extra advantage of relocating months seven (September), eight (October), nine (November) and ten (December) back into their original place in the calendar year.

days.
1752 is when Great Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian Calendar.
