Managust, the manliest of months.

What, you werent born on Mapril 0, 1901?
The zeroth of March is not uncommonly used, to mean the last of February whether it's the 28th or 29th

Febrauary?
"Feb"+""+"uary"

I understand that bad ui is a fun meme and all, but how did this one even cross their mind as an idea for a bad UI? This is a new level of convoluted I would not have even considered.
My guess: someone messed up trying to split an array and split a string from it and hilarity ensued.

Genuine Question:
if you could split the month names into 3, how would you split them to maximise their choice overlap?
- "em" is a good overlap for nov/sept/dec
- "uar" is good for jan/febr

For that matter, August has to use a blank in the first position as well

I assume the post is the maximum. I wonder if there is an algorithm for that

I use febr a rch btw
You know about neo-pronouns, get ready for neo-months

It's too unregular and too good to be a coincidence. Unless they threw an algorithm on it that was intended for whatever

This is disgusting. Who enters dates in month/day/year order?
How do you see that and this is your reaction?

We can clearly see that this design is silly, because it allows for so many invalid states. Yet when we represent some type, let's say in Java, were so often forced to do this exact same thing. Have variables in a container of which only a certain combination is valid. And then have at most a comment saying "this number is only valid if X is also set" or "if the validity boolean is true". Luckily Java finally has some ability for the so-called sum types now, just like Haskell's data types or Rust's enum types. Imo any language should have this.
Having data dependent on each other in a type means that either you have redundant data (so one of the fields should be computed) or that your container tries to be too generic (you should in this case prefer an 'Apple' class over a 'Fruit' class with an enum field 'Type')

wrote on last edited by [email protected]hierarchical letter clustering would be my guess, or graph-based clustering using ngrams of 2-4 as nodes and maximising for connections.
Or using an optimized Regex and printing out the DFA?
Edit: Quick N-gram analysis (min=3, max=num letters in that month)
:::spoiler R-code
library(ngram) tmonths = c("january", "february", "march", "april", "may", "june", "july", "august", "september", "october", "november", "december") zzz = lapply(tmonths, function(mon){ ng = ngram::ngram_asweka(paste(unlist(strsplit(mon, split="")), collapse=" "), min=3, max=nchar(mon)) return(gsub(" ", "", ng)) }) res = sort(table(unlist(zzz))) res[res > 1]:::
This gives the following 9 ngram frequencies greater than 1:
ary uar uary emb embe ember mbe mber ber 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4As you can see two longest most common motifs are "em-ber" and "uar-y"
Using this I propose the following graph
::: spoiler Mermaid
stateDiagram direction LR sept --> em nov --> em dec --> em em --> ber oc --> to to --> ber feb --> uar uar --> y jan --> uar ju --> ne ju --> l l --> y ma --> r ma --> y r --> ch a --> p p --> r r --> il a --> u u --> gust:::

I unironically love this. Of course it isn't practical in the least, but I love it.

Thanks for saving me time, my head was already spinning on the previous comment but you made it stop.

I'm really disappointed by June, April and August. Without these months, everything would be so neat and orderly
