Switching costs and triskaidekaphobia be damned: We ought to ditch the Gregorian calendar and replace it with a this (Scotian?) alternative:
- thirteen months of the exact same 28-day length,
- New Year’s Day as its own intercalary one-day week, and
- every leap year, a two-day New Year’s Week.
Accountants would be happy about this. Computer code would be simpler. And no one would have to remember “Thirty Days Hath September” any more.
