+150 The 12 Month Calendar Sucks and Needs to be 13 Months, amirite?

Honestly, it's like the QWERTY keyboard. It sticks around because people know how to use it and nobody wants to learn a different system.

Check Ethiopian calendar, iirc each 12 months have 30 days and the last month have 5 days and 6 days as a leap year, totally 13 months.

Completely agree. There should be 13 months in a year, and 4 weeks (28 days) in a month, with one or two extra days in the last month of the year depending on whether it's a leap year. The only conceivable drawback would be that you'd have to organize business quarters by 13-week increments instead of the neat and tidy 3-month increments we have now.

Yes, and the whole world will peacefully agree on it.

Ah yes, like the French revolutionary calendar switch from the Gregorian went perfectly well

February has 28 days because everyone (in Northern Hemisphere) knows it's by far the worst month. Winter keeps dragging on and on. They were like: Let's shorten this SOB and make sure that January and March have 31 days to offset it. Facts. Facts that I just made up and are 100% incorrect. But facts nonetheless.

You think telling the difference between 28, 30, and 31 to be confusing and unintuitive?

compared to every month being 28 days, and the final month being 29, yes

The final month being 29 days??? We're talking about December, right?

We need to name the 13th month Smarch so I can complain about this lousy Smarch weather.
