What's "Gen 04"? Is LW using a new calendar now, like the French revolutionaries?

LOL, sorry for that. Yes, obviously I was thinking in Italian. Fixed it.

In Italian, the month we call January is called Gennaio. I wouldn't be surprised if there were other languages whose name for January begins "Gen".

Also, Gen (Italian) and Jan (English) are homophonic.

Not in the variety of English I speak, unless my knowledge of Italian pronunciation is worse than I think it is. Maybe (almost) in American English, though.
