Allow me to add my support to Bill Potts' calendar proposal in USMA 21668:
>There is one calendar reform (which has nothing to do with SI) that would >make the current system somewhat more rational. (And, yes, we've discussed >it here before.) > >That's the one with 30-, 30- and 31-day months in each quarter, with an >unnumbered World Day (or some such) to make up the 365, plus an unnumbered >Leap Day (probably between the new February 30 and March 1, to satisfy >tradition) every four years. World Day would possibly be between December 31 >and January 1. The unnumbered days would be preceded by a Saturday and followed by a Sunday. Religious fundamentalists, such as Marcus Berger, would object that this would upset the divinely ordained seven-day cycle. Perhaps special religious services could be held on these unnumbered days to ask divine forgiveness for this sin. Joseph B.Reid 17 Glebe Road West Toronto M5P 1C8 Tel. 416 486-6071
