Every month should be 28 days, then one or two day holiday with the orphaned days for New Years

    The issue with this iirc is that religious people don’t like the idea of not having the seven days of the week kept as they are

    That's not an issue. 4 weeks of 7 days, 13 months, and 1 or two days that are weekless

    Most of the proposed calendars with standardized months also fix the days so every date is always the same day of the week

    Positivist Calendar

    International Calendar

    Hanke Calendar

    Or they change the length of a week directly

    French Decimal Calendar

    Ah you mean they don't like the idea of days of the month not changing day of the week?

    Yeah that's a huge perk of it for folks who want this. I don't really get why they'd have a problem with that

    And yeah I'm just pro cotsworth

    @Deceptichum the ancient Persian system is 12 months of 30 days, and then 5 "intercalary days" leading up to Nowruz that was a period of celebration, with an extra month added every 120 years (or an extra day every 4 years is an early modern renovation)
