Next you will be asking for the imperial measurement system be replaced by some metric system or other.

It's madness I tell you madness.


Why is it madness?

Why should the first day of the year NOT be a Sunday?


Simply because Monday is the first day of the week.

It's in the big book.

"And on the seventh day (sunday) God rested."

That means Sunday is the seventh day and Monday is the first.

SIMPLES.


Well, why shouldn't the first day of the year be a monday?

Let's try again.


Let's try one more time, why does it matter what day the year starts on? Who gives a F? Why not in that case do away with names altogether and just use numbers. 1/1/1/1, first day of the first week in the first month of year 1.



That's not the only benefit of the calendar. Another benefit is that it's permanent in nature. Every day falls on the same day every year - it's perpetual.

Not to mention the fact it's a lot easier to budget.

I'm talking about the 13 months of 4 equal weeks. 13 equal divisions is superior to 12 unequal divisions.

But that is not relevant to what you responded to. I was asking what relevance day names have under your new system. Why not just numbers? Why does a year have to start on one a day name? Why not rotate them to be fair and equitable?

I kinda like the ancient duodecimal time system, it's a link to the ancient past.

It relates to the broader purposes of the calendar, which is that it's fixed and perpetual.

For e.g. 1st Jan next is actually still part of Week 53 of 2020. The first week of 2020 starts on 4th January. Problem is 4th Jan is not the first day of year.

Don't you think it makes sense that the first day of year should be the first day of the first week of the year?

No, I think we should call the 13th month after an indigenous name and insert it between February and March in order to preserve the Roman naming system.

I think calendars are extremely complicated but now we have atomic clocks and everything is known about our journey around the sun and considering everyone/everything is happily working under our current time system, it would be more of a problem to change it than keep it.

Do we even need  days of the week or months?

Just have day 1 to 365 for normal years.

Also move to metric time.

An indigenous name?  Grin

Of what indigenous people? So the 13th month could have thousands of names depending on where you come from? Or perhaps you see this as an Australian only venture? That is the stupidest thing said in this thread so far but shows your problem with logic and willingness to bow to PC to a tee.

Frankly, you can call the extra month whatever you want if it makes you feel better.
