Unless you're in a country where your week starts on Monday. Then it's infuriatingly just slightly less than perfect.

who the fuck ‽

I believe strongly in inclusion and don't feel we should discriminate against February for having less days. Difference adds value, and i for one warmly embrace February as part of the year

im one of those folks that wish all months were 30 days and we just had 5 days outside of the normal calendar like the equinoxes, solsctices, and maybe perihelion as 5.

Why not 13 months of 28 days each, plus New Years Day as an extra?
HubertManne 2 points 6 months ago
because I never realized that would work. It was easier to think about how close 365 is to the round number 360 which was a nice round ration for 30. 13 28day months are amazing and we could still go with 7 day weeks and have all the days line up perfectly. Every monday is the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 23rd of every month. the 30 day thing I figure we go to a 6 day week. I love it. Of course idiots will get all obsesive about a 13th month.

If we make the 1st a Sunday, then we can have 13 Friday the 13ths every year for idiots to obsess over :)

If history has taught us anything, it's that some places would start with Sunday, and others would start with Monday. There would be no benefit to starting on different days, but that wouldn't fuckin stop us.

oooh. I would miss that. I am one who like to do a nice horror movie marathon on them but man once a month. Im not quite that much a horror fan.

Imagine you're born on a Monday. Every birthday will be a Monday :(

You could still throw your birthday party on the weekend. People already do that under our current calendar if their birthday happens to fall on an inconvenient day.

Except for leap years, February is the perfect month, since it’s exactly four weeks. This year it’s doubly perfect (if you believe the week starts with Sunday) because it makes a neat little rectangle on the calendar.
