- While I like the overall idea, this part needs work.
-
- 1. Is week 01 the first complete week? Or is week 00 the first full week
- or fragment of one?
-
- 2. If the year begins on Saturday and ends on Monday, it will have 54
- weeks. Obviously they cannot be numbered 00 to 52!
-
- By the way, how about using %P for AM/PM and %p for am/pm?
