Make the year 26 Months! http://dylanz.net/wp/2010/03/why-12-months/ http://dylanz.net/wp/2010/03/why-12-months/#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:22:20 +0000 dylan http://dylanz.net/wp/?p=423 If I was in charge of the calendar, you would not have to remember if you had 30 or 31 days in the month. You see, right now, we have 12 months that we have attempted to squeeze into 365.242199 days. The Egyptians started this tradition of 12 months each with 30 days. But as you have probably already figured out, this got out of sync pretty quickly. Winter appears in the Summer months after about 700 years. So that won’t work out for those who like to make simple plans. They added leap years and rules, but still stuck to the inefficient 12-month, guess-what-day-of-the-week it is system.
Well I’m going to solve all that. You see, I am creating my own calendar. It’s really simple. See if you can follow along with me:

There are 365 days in the year. This translates into just over 52 7-day weeks in a year, or 26 14-day weeks. There are exactly 26 letters in the English alphabet! Coincidence? I think not! So in my calendar, there will be 26 months identified a-z and each month will have 14 days. Military Folks can identify the months with their Alpha-Beta-Charlie identification, Travel agents can name cities and states like Alaska-Berlin-Cairns. And since each month will start on the same day of the week, everyone will always know that the 1st is a Monday. No need to check the calendar to be sure. You would send an e-mail to a friend to meet on Monday Alpha 01 or Monday Alpha 08. No one would ever make a mistake on the day of the week ever again. Easy right? When is my birthday? Tango 03. Would be the same day of the week every year. O.K., someoone is asking about the extra day. What do I plan to do with the extra day?
Easy, that is just an extra Sunday. Leap year? Two extra Sunday’s The Extra days will always be Zulu days. So you could have Zulu 15 or Zulu 16, but they would always be Sundays. So you could have 3 Sundays in a row. But Alpha 01 would always be a Monday.

26 Months in the Year. A simple idea who’s time has come. Remember, you heard it here first!
