    Sounds like why fuck with it then. There’s a cost to converting that will be paid only to replace one set of arbitrary bullshit with another set of arbitrary bullshit. You can say you prefer one bullshit to another and no one can dispute you on that, but in the end it’s just one set of bullshit vs another and I’m already committed to the current one.

      It’s probably too difficult to implement now because of computers being entrenched in the existing system. If we were going to implement it, it would have been 100 years ago.

        What is actually better about it? It’s a bit more intuitive except for where it isn’t, and it forces people to develop an entirely new concept of the 0th of January (and occasionally 0th of June). What do we do on the 0th? How does that fit into things that cycle with a period of 1 month? It breaks the idea that a 1 month period is equivalent to a 4 week period, which is supposed to be the entirety of why we’re doing this in the first place.
