That said, I think months may just be one of those terrible systems that are too ingrained in our society.
I still wish we could do 13*28 + 1.25 days, thirteen months with twenty eight days each, every month starting on a Monday, with a special 'festivity' day at the end of each year, sometimes 2 days. That would work a lot better I think, but because of proud Roman emperors, we are learning and working in one of the worst arrangements possible.

#5The core problem is to take things that doesn't have to be multiples as multiple, like Earth's rotation (day) with Earth (year) or Moon (month) time to orbit. Adjusting those simple original ideas to the complexity of reality and the needs of i.e. agriculture ended in what we have now.
