to-day I wanted to add an activity in iCal for January 8, 2016
while entering the correct time, etc., I noticed that the date was 0-01-2016
after completing the entry, the activity was stored on the correct day.
probably a small error 🙂
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
to-day I found, it happens on each and every 8th in any month.
Fred,
Go to System Preferences...>Language & Region>Region:...and set/re-set your appropriate "Region:"
Also review your other settings on that preference pane, including "Advanced..." Consider using "Restore Defaults."
tried your suggestions, but it did not help.
is there a plist a could rename or remove ??

Yes, that would be prudent.
Quit Calendar, then paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart and open Calendar.
removing the com.apple.ical.plist and rebooting did not help.
OS X made a new plist, as expected.
and mdworker was busy for some time, obviously reindexing my email for Spotlight.
I also created a temperary user, logged in with that user and tested iCal.
same thing: "zero" day in each month.

Fred,
Since your problem occurs in multiple user accounts, it appears to me that a reinstallation of OS X is in order. 😟
However, I would first recommend that you try to install/reinstall the OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 Combo Update.
If you decide to go that route, make sure that you have a viable backup.
first I have done the combo-update, no result.
after that, I did a re-install, without erasing my SSD. again no result.
I have done a clean install about 2 months ago.
and I feel the mistake is so small, that I don't feel much for doing in other clean install.
Fred,
If everything else on your system is normal, I agree that another "clean" install may not be the best choice.
Since this problem appears to be more related to El Capitan than Calendar, you may get some more advice if you post your problem in the OS X El Capitan Forum.
Be sure to include a link to this discussion, and best wishes for finding a solution.
