We'd all be using different calendars if that was the case, not sure how well that would work in a globally connected world.
"Ok, lets meet the 15th of Spring"
"Ah, so in 6 months?"

- baxtr 2y agoWell, not quite. I’m merely proposing to have January 1st on spring starting day (northern hemisphere).
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoWhy northern hemisphere and not southern?
- scotty79 2y agoBecause most humans live in the northern hemisphere?
