A quick definition of old style:

Term: Old Style

Definition: Old Style is a way of measuring time that was used a long time ago. It was created by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. and it said that most years have 365 days, but every fourth year has 366 days. This is different from the way we measure time now because it assumes that there are exactly 365.25 days in a year, but there are actually a little bit less. This means that over time, the Old Style calendar added too many days. The Julian calendar was changed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to make it more accurate. Old Style is also called Julian calendar.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Old Style refers to the Julian calendar system introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. It orders time by assuming that there are exactly 365.25 days in a year, except for years divisible by 4, which have 366 days. However, there are actually slightly less than 365.25 days in a year, causing the old-style calendar to add too many days over time. The Julian calendar was reformed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.

Example: In the old-style calendar, the year 1700 was considered a leap year because it was divisible by 4. However, in reality, it was not a leap year because it did not meet the criteria of the Gregorian calendar reform.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the old-style calendar added too many leap years over time, causing a discrepancy between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The Gregorian calendar reform corrected this by adjusting the leap year criteria to exclude years divisible by 100 but not by 400.
