This could be every month if we adopted a 13 month calendar of 4, 7 day weeks. Works out very cleanly with only 1 extra day per year.

While we’re changing the calendar, can we rename September through December so they’re not off by two?
Septem, Octo, Novem and Decem are the Latin words for 7, 8, 9 and 10 respectively, but they’re actually the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th months of the year. This is because the calendar was originally only 10 months, but Julius Caesar added two new months without renaming the last four.
Maybe the oldest tech debt in existence - the calendar was changed in 45 BC.

But then we’d have to deal with that lousy Smarch weather

People are superstitious and would never allow a 13th month

1 in 7 chance [if you sample from infinite years]

That can’t be correct, can it?
They would have a rotating 7 year schedule, but it’s messed up by leap years. You have the seven calendars you’re thinking of and 1-2 leap year calendars mixed into those 7 years. It would have to be somewhere between 1 in 8 and 1 in 9, wouldn’t it?

the first day of the month moves forward one weekday each year except mar-dec on a leap year moves forward two weekdays

February starting in a Sunday also means two Friday 13th in a row, except in leap years.

This. Sunday is part of the weekend, not the weekstart.

What do people that start the week on sunday call the “weekend”? For them only Saturday is the weekend and Sunday is the weekstart or what?

Weekend like bookend, both sides.

Σαββατοκύριακο. Saturday and Sunday. It would be far weirder to start the week on Δευτέρα which literally meaning “second”.
Of course in English and other languages Monday does not mean second. Still for Mose western (plus Arabs) Monday has been second after Sunday. Long before Saturday was a day off.
ISO defining the start of the week as Monday due to it being the first business day (lol) has comparatively little impact.

Depends, mine starts on Monday. I also live in SI and ISO. My wife’s starts on Sunday, she goes to church. Although I still don’t get that as the seventh day was a rest day.
It does sometimes make talking about Sunday next week confusing.

Because sabbath was the seventh day, the rest day. It predates Christianity. It’s like the very first book of the Old Testament…

You are using ‘SI and ISO’ mike everybody knows what the fuck that means

It depends on the country. While most countries start it in Monday, Sunday is also common, some muslim countries start it on Saturday, and Maldives start the week on Fridays.
