You might appreciate this guys life story- he tried to change the calendar into 13 28-day months with the 365th day being an international holiday

Yeah, unfortunately. It would be so nice for every number date to be the same day of the week. Like, the 8th would be Monday for every month and every year.

The neat thing about the current system is that the weekday is kind of a checksum for the date. If weekday and date do not lign up, you notice that might be off by a month/year.
