Leap Second
This is a rather interesting article...a leap second! On Dec. 31th, your day will be just a second longer!

ok I will read the Wikipedia article, then TRY to read the Spanish one........
segundo intercalar is leap second, I know that....because I recognize segundo as second. if that is second then intercalar is leap.
