i feel like march should have been the first month of the calendar year, not january

why march? well…
first of all, if march was the first month, and january/february are appended after december, the names of september-december match up with their respective month numbers (september -> 7, december -> 10)
and as a bonus, leap day is the last day of the year on leap years, and not in the middle of the year

im normal about the calendar system i think

@kemona_halftau I agree that the month numbers should be fixed, but this also moves New Year to March. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing moving it further away from the other winter events (Christmas/Grav-Mass and Hannukah) though.

According to wikipedia, until 1492 the new year did begin on the 1st of March in Russia (and in several other places at different times it also began in March, but not on the 1st)

@kemona_halftau

At first I was skeptical, but reading this it makes me mad that it isn’t this way

@kemona_halftau well you can blame julius cesear for that

@kemona_halftau spring equinox should be start of year. As it happens, that is in march...
