    “start of the century when we wrote it”

    This meme wouldn’t exist had they done that. But they chose the zeroeth, not the first, of January for Excel.

      Yep. “1” is 12:00am on 1-Jan-1900

      Numbers less than zero just give a weird error. Between zero and less than one give a nonsense date-formatted non-date.
