Actualy I want to know who used the word "leap year" first. Was it an adaption from the Julien calander? Is there some Latin or other bassis for the word.
If a year ends in 00 like 1700 or 1900 there was no leap year. There was a leap year in 2000 because it could be evenly devided by 400. That is to take up the extra time that is still not acounted for by the addition of a leap day every 4 years.
