How manyIf individuals or 'group' intends NOT to chooose the BASE where from other standards need be aligned, the confusion and unresoved situation is bound to remain. This is preceisely where, I concluded NOT to change the Day, the week, the year, the Degrees in circle or quadrant BUT give a new look to the *face of clock* to have 100 divisions (replacing the presntly used 60; and link with defining METRE as: '1/100000th of the ArcAngle degree'.
days are there nowadays? Anomalistic, Bessel, calendar, Gaussian, sidereal,
solar mean, tropical, . . .
This only can provide the *easiest, surest and cheapest* assurance to GO METRIC the whole hog way!

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!
And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

I support the second as it is already defined. There is no sense in
changing it; especially since the rotation of the earth changes with respect
to time. If I've heard right, we won't always have 24 h days. I believe
that we have to adjust our clock by 4 second a year right now. How many
days are there nowadays? Anomalistic, Bessel, calendar, Gaussian, sidereal,
solar mean, tropical, . . . Anyways, I think the let's-change-time group is
just one more obstacle to metrication in the United States of America. I
see a lot of good brain power being wasted on this distraction.
Sincerely, Matthew Zotter

SI is a simpler system than Ye Olde English units. Your proposal for redefining the second in terms of your decimal day requires the wholesale disruption of that good system with no improvement in the problem areas you cite; at least no improvement that cannot be accomplished more simply and WITHOUT changing the defrinition and the size of the second.
