I'd love the positist calendar. That said, even just having 7 months with 30 days and 5 with 31 and either grouping all the months with the same length together would be nice. E.g. jan-May have 31 days, all others 30.
Also might be nice if we can fix names so that months match their names again (September being the seventh, October the eighth and so on.). It's insane we lost this because two emperors named some months after themselves 2000 years ago and we are still stuck with it.
- Skeime 3y agoThe emperors are not at fault. They renamed months and didn’t insert new ones. It’s just that the beginning of the year changed from March to January at some point. (Hence the leap day at the end of February as well.)
- timbit42 3y agoI'd like to know more about why it was changed from March to January.
- vulcan01 3y agoCaesar changed it to start on January 1st because the Roman consuls took office then on that day.
- artursapek 3y agoHe also named July after himself!
- ajmurmann 3y agoIt's so weird to me that they assassinated him, but didn't rename the month back. Imagine Trump had renamed June to "Trump", he then gets impeached and 2000 years later the month is still called Trump.
- artursapek 3y agoProbably not an easy thing to change
- Jolter 3y agoHaving the leap day after new years’ day made a lot more sense, too.
