+342 It would have made more sense to just give February 30 days and knock a day off a couple other months that have 31 days, amirite?

It has to match up with the seasons. Taking days off of other months and adding them to February would cause the dates of the seasons to be really screwed up after a few years.

How would it make a difference? The number of days in the year would still be the same.

It //was// like that before, they added days to the 31-day months to honour some god and so they took it off February as it was the last month at that time.
