Thanks to the discussion on Eddit about this.
The Cotsworth Plan, proposed in 1902, is a Solar Calendar. Quarters would each be 13 weeks long. The one "spare" day would be New Year's Day.
I like to have the weekend at the end of the week, both days together on the calendar. The day that starts the week varies around the world.
The new Friday 13th would be Friday 13th on the 13th Month.
There is already an ISO standard for naming dates: ISO-8601, which uses our existing system.
Though people might argue that attempting to change our calendar system is futile, what examination of this issue does clearly show is how we could have benefited from logically thought out, scientific standardization from the very beginning. We could be the beneficiaries now, and with calendars or similar issues, we could benefit in the future.
