I always knew starting the week on Sunday was messed up. Thankfully there's an ISO to back me up

While we're changing the calendar, can we rename September through December so they're not off by two?

Septem, Octo, Novem and Decem are the Latin words for 7, 8, 9 and 10 respectively, but they're actually the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th months of the year. This is because the Roman calendar was originally only 10 months, but Julius Caesar inserted two new months in the middle, without renaming the last four.

Maybe the oldest tech debt in existence - the calendar was changed in 45 BC.

But then we’d have to deal with that lousy Smarch weather

Agreed. It's so simple and beautiful.

• The once a year extra-day is an international Eat The Rich holiday. Probably tied to the winter solstice.
• And every fourth year we all get a bonus-extra Leap Purge holiday.

The Gregorian calendar has nothing on this!

I like this better than the French revolutionary calendar's ten-day weeks. Maybe if they had included more than two weekend days people wouldn't have hated it so much

The best part is that every date (i.e. the 1st, the 22nd, etc) would always fall on the same day of the week, every month.

I wish this is how we arranged it. Makes so much more sense

Alas, my brain is too used to wed in the middle

I only go by the Linux “cal” command.

Brazil!

Monday is called "Segunda" wich means "second" and every weekday follows this. So the Nth day of the week is called Nth except weekends

The US people. There went "What does the whole planet start their week on? Really? Well in that case we'll pick Sunday".

A bit like what they did for pretty much everything else.

Uh, everybody? Mae’s the calendar so much neater seeing it bookended with weekend days on both sides.

heard it's the British

God did, it's in the bible.

Depends, mine starts on Monday. I also live in SI and ISO. My wife’s starts on Sunday, she goes to church. Although I still don’t get that as the seventh day was a rest day. 

It does sometimes make talking about Sunday next week confusing.

What do people that start the week on sunday call the "weekend"? For them only Saturday is the weekend and Sunday is the weekstart or what?

This. Sunday is part of the weekend, not the weekstart.

Feb 2027 starts on a Monday, and has 28 days!

It depends on the country. While most countries start it in Monday, Sunday is also common, some muslim countries start it on Saturday, and Maldives starts the week on Fridays.

According to my workplace, the week starts on Saturday.

You need the metric system to understand that
