minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 year agoObviously it’s a an act of protest so the months are officially remade to be alphabetically ordered.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•1 year agoCan’t we just call them month 1 to month 12 like CJK languages do?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•1 year agoBut in alphabetical order: 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

No, it has to be month 0 to 11.
