Usually either both dates are supplied or they are more or less clearly marked "old style". When a date in 1700-1918 is supplied without an old/new style note, half the readers assume old style and half the new style; this confusion is so common, that lack of a style note is a sure sign that the date is not to be trusted (to the extent that it may be wrong in either style). -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) X 11.0.11103000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://palestinefacts.org http://www.memritv.org http://pmw.org.il http://ffii.org http://think-israel.org Don't ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
