I've been wondering why we call this year Leap Year and today LeapDay.
Most of the definitions for leap refer to jumping over or passing over something. But this is the one year we don't skip a day.
Shouldn't the other years be leap years and this one be called Amplification Year? Or something a little less antonymic than Leap Year?
What do you think?

That's a good point. Never thought about that...
