In Taiwan, if you were born on February 29, your birthday is February 28 in non-leap years. In England and Wales, if you were born on February 29, your birthday is February 28 every year, including leap years.
All day long, I've been reading and hearing about today's Leap Year birthday celebrants.
A subtext about these Feb.29 birthday folks is: when do/should they celebrate their February 29 Leap Year birthdays in non-Leap Years- February 28 or March 1?
Here's one suggestion from a non-Leap Year birthday guy:
Split the difference:
If you were born BEFORE Noon on a February 29, celebrate your birthday during non-Leap Years on February 28.
You know where I am going next wioth this/ If you were born AFTER 12 noon on a February 29, celebrate your birthday on March 1.
But that's only for non Leap Years.
As for today, February 29, 2008: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
