Please also lets use the International fixed calendar where every month has exactly 28 days/4 weeks and the year has 13 months. Every 1st of the month is a sunday, every 2nd is a monday and so on, so you will always know which day it is by the number.
The leftover day is a dedicated new years day.
Sounds fun, now update every computer system simultaneously to a new date format.
time is stored as seconds since epoch anyways, the computer systems can easily survive by just converting to metric time when displaying. It's the systems that cares about week/month that hates it
"Sol" is a terrible month name, but the general idea is cool.
Would be nice to realign September, October, November, and December as the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th months respectively
12 Month are better for dividing a year, which is often needed. I know it will never change, but I propose 12 30-day month and 5,25 extra days at the end of a year. Also 5-day weeks or 10 day weeks and every year starts with the same day.
Just treat the center month as summer break, then we are back to quarters.
How do you write the date for the "leftover" day? Like, thinking about dates in Excel.
You have your dates in excel? I usually go to a restaurant or the the club with them, but I guess the youngsters today date in excel.
1/14. Easy
If programs can handle February having 28 days, sometimes 29. It can handle 14 having 1 day, sometimes 2.
