Yeah, I've heard that "pain chocolate" is a big thing in France!
Admin
More likely pains au chocolat. (Or chocolatines ou petits pains, or several other names, depending on where you are in the francophonie.)

That last one looks like a phishing attempt, to me. Obviously it could be legit, but what would you need to know about someone other than their email address and their first and last name to send something saying that the mailing address was changed to, pick any address, you're quite unlikely to accidentally pick the user's actual address. It would induce a sense of urgency on the user's part, and they might just use the included phone number without checking to make sure it's the right number. IMO the email should direct the user to go to their website to find the phone number WITHOUT providing a link - if the user really has an account, they should know the legit website.

I don't understand how the months one happened. How do you write code that accidentally includes some months twice and misses others (leaving one "dismayed"?).
I'm trying to work out how you could accidentally misuse date-time fields, perhaps with time zone shenanigans, that can cause those errors (perhaps all month except Jan, Feb, and Jun are being treated as the last day of the previous month? If so, why those exceptions?) And if it were due to manual entry, that would be an even bigger WTF I think.

I expect that the X-axis has a label every # days, where perhaps # is 30 but where the displayed value goes through some transformation to avoid days when the market is closed (I.E. weekends and holidays).
Building a table of that sort in Excel (where I kept adding 30 to the unadjusted date), I got two May dates and no March date, which isn't an exact match but is a PoC.
