Here are some more tweets from netizens who made fun of the dates feature of MS Excel.
If this were accurate, this birthday calculation would be off by 2 days because of Excel bug. The funny thing is that bug itself was in Lotus 123 before and Excel refused to change it because they thought people would complain. And I haven't even gotten to all the date parsing bu https://t.co/hBoImW9QkF
