 @cindex Julian day counting
 Another day counting system in common use is, confusingly, also called
-``Julian.''  The Julian day number is the numbers of days since 
-12:00 noon (GMT) on Jan 1, 4713 BC, which in Calc's scheme (in GMT)

+12:00 noon (GMT) on Jan 1, 4713 BC, which in Calc's scheme (in GMT)
 is @mathit{-1721423.5} (recall that Calc starts at midnight instead
 of noon).  Thus to convert a Calc date code obtained by unpacking a
 date form into a Julian day number, simply add 1721423.5 after
 compensating for the time zone difference.  The built-in @kbd{t J}
 command performs this conversion for you.

 This is the length of a Julian cycle.  Working backwards, the previous
