Unless you work closely with dates, asking somebody "how many days in April" will result in a calendar check, a song or a them doing something odd with their knuckles.
- thrdbndndn 4y agoI honestly think most people know how many days in each month.. But yeah, the point still stands. Having a calendar actively has wrong number of days is very misleading and counterproductive even if one knows how many there are supposed to be. Not to mention it doesn't even have month shown.
- SamPatt 4y agoFor some months like February (unusual), October (Halloween), or December (New Year's Eve) I remember them. But for the other months I sing the song. Takes about ten seconds, required monthly at most. I think this is pretty common.
- thrdbndndn 4y agoInteresting. I personally just remember the cutoff point (7/8), and before that odd months have 31, after it even months have 31 days. It eventually became "muscle" memory.
- cecilpl2 4y agoFor me at least, once I hit my thirties I had just kind of memorized them all by osmosis.
- parkingrift 4y agoWhat's wrong with counting on your knuckles for the 12 total times per year that you need to adjust this calendar?
