Well, I have heard of leap year but now it seems as if June will become leap month as the month may get an extra second added to it according to the International Earth Rotation And Reference Systems:

Leap days/seconds are weeeeird x_X
Read my social stuff!
The ramblings of an oldish geezer on Facebook.
@SnorbESnorb on Twitter. The "E" stands for "Everything."
Play my games!
The ArrrPG - A game I made about being a pirate. This be a first draft, matey! Though it plays just fine, clap yer eyes on th' eventual Revised an' Expanded Edition and you'll be pleased, by thunder!
Nakama: A Card Game of Magical Girls - A completely un-playtested card game about being a magical girl.
Well, excuse me while I defy all laws of logic and common sense and do it anyway.

Leap years, and leap days, really are not quite needed anymore.
In the same goes for setting clocks ahead or behind, every year.
These things existed in the past, because they helped with the production of agriculture, which is an economy that the United States is not a major producer or exporter of any more.
There are several countries which do not set clocks ahead or behind it all. And there are also countries which even exist on a different calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar and to not set their years or days ahead or behind.

Well, it has come and gone as it is already July and I didn't even notice or think about the leap second at all. Anyone else??

Nope. It's all about making our calendars sync up. Realistically, I doubt anyone noticed a difference.
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation
