specifies a regularly occurring event by offsets specified in days,
weeks, and months. It is comparable to a crontab entry interpreted by
the @code{cron} utility. Here is a nonmarking, floating diary entry
-that applies to the last Thursday in November:
+that applies to the fourth Thursday in November:
@findex diary-float
@example
-&%%(diary-float 11 4 -1) American Thanksgiving
+&%%(diary-float 11 4 4) American Thanksgiving
@end example
@noindent
The 11 specifies November (the eleventh month), the 4 specifies Thursday
(the fourth day of the week, where Sunday is numbered zero), and the
-@minus{}1 specifies ``last'' (1 would mean ``first,'' 2 would mean
-``second,'' @minus{}2 would mean ``second-to-last,'' and so on). The
-month can be a single month or a list of months. Thus you could change
+second 4 specifies the fourth Thursday (1 would mean ``first,'' 2 would
+mean ``second,'' @minus{}2 would mean ``second-to-last,'' and so on).
+The month can be a single month or a list of months. Thus you could change
the 11 above to @samp{'(1 2 3)} and have the entry apply to the last
Thursday of January, February, and March. If the month is @code{t}, the
entry applies to all months of the year.@refill
