  It’s accounted for just like any other leap year, add it to the end of a month. Most calendar models make it July 29. It’s also worth noting that this is actually 360 days, and there are 5 days at the end of each year that’s basically a universal holiday

    That would just be new year. I’ve already have a list ready for how to name all the months, so we don’t fuck it up like September being the 9. Month again.

    Which breaks “day of week = day modulo 7” if every month starts on Monday and not every month has the same number of days

      In this scheme, new years day and leap days are not any day of the week or part of any month. They exist outside of the regular calendar as obvious and explicit resets to the remainder problem.

        My point exactly. So the programmer who commented above me is wrong in saying it makes it easier for them

      Look, short of changing Earth’s orbit, something’s not gonna line up no matter what you do. Extra-weekly days are as good a compromise as any in my book.

      Leap day and new year day are supposed to not be a week day in this system

  Just make them holidays, everyone works too much anyway, and it’s just getting worse for no reason.

  Leap day gets it’s own name outside of saturday through sunday. It’s an all awesome holiday.

    … which fucks with the way the day of the week is calculated by computers as I already explained others

        Didn’t say it’s not manageable, just said it’s not easier
