It would be very hard to change the days of the week and the names of the months, but why not? Old Roman deities seem to have little place. Let's try this. It would be super easy to understand, and wouldn't offend anyone, since they're just numbers. I say we should go for it:
Firstday = Sunday
Secondday = Monday
Thirdday = Tuesday
Fourthday = Wednesday
Fifthday = Thursday
Sixthday = Friday
Seventhday = Saturday
Similarly, for the months:
Firstmonth
Secondmonth
Thirdmonth
Fourthmonth
Fifthmonth
Sixthmonth
Seventhmonth
Eighthmonth
Ninethmonth
Tenthmonth
Eleventhmonth
Twelftmonth
Thank Wotan it's Friia's-day
If we did this, would the Mormons then become the "Saturday Adventists?"
I say we use numbers for everything in the universe so as not to offend anyone about anything.I dont think people understand what the word OFFEND really means..Imagine being so perrty of a person as to be actually OFFENDED by the use of AD and BC ?
This is a good idea, but I like the native american method of months better, you know, like moon of the green grass, starving moon, moon of the red berries, etc. Each tribe of course had their own designations so we would have to vote on which ones we liked.
"I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy. Yankee Doodle do or die. A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam born on the Fourth of Seventhmonth."
Nah.
