    That’s actually way closer to today! In England, the change occured in 1752

    So in England (specifically England – it was different in other places) the 24th of March 1750 was followed by the 25th of March 1751, but 1751 ended on 31st of December 1751 & 1752 was the first year beginning on the 1st of January. 1751 only lasted for 282 days

    England was extremely late to the change though, about ~170 years after the gregorian reforms to the calendar. For the rest of Europe, before the gregorian reforms, new year was not always noted in March either, there was no common agreement on the start of the year & it changed regionally. It all became standardized around January mid 16th century







  • Question 5 is incorrect, name@example is a fully valid email address, even after RFC 2822

    The spec of RFC 2822 defines an address (3.4.1) as:

    local-part "@" domain
    

    domain is defined (3.4.1) as:

    domain = dot-atom / domain-literal / obs-domain
    

    dot-atom is defined (3.2.4) as:

    dot-atom = [CFWS] dot-atom-text [CFWS]
    dot-atom-text = 1*atext *("." 1*atext)
    

    1*atext meaning at least 1 alphanumeric character, followed by *("." 1*atext) meaning at least 0 "." 1*atext


    If tomorrow, google decided to use its google top-level domain as an email domain, it would be perfectly valid, as could any other company owning top-level domains

    Google even owns a gmail TLD so I wouldn’t even be surprised if they decided to use it
