I'm not sure that is a factor. I can easily picture an
English-speaking boy completing his first program and wanting to
contribute it to the nice free-software people. It's rather sweet,
actually. We were all born clueless, and it speaks well for him that
he would start programming in the tty paradigm rather than some GUI
monstrosity.

I'm sure we all do. Of course, the spirit of "doing with it whatever we
wish" in this case means not doing anything with it. :-)
Anyway, the program's buggy: The weekdays are off by one in January
and February in the year after a leap year, and if any month after
February in a leap year starts with a Tuesday no weekday heading gets
printed ...

I expect that Domenico has already tried to equip him with a clue in
the gentlest manner posible.
