I like the argument that we should have 12 months that are exactly 30 days long, and then merge whatever is left into a single timeless holiday.

I've often dreamed of and revisited this idea. I first started thinking of it seriously when I realized I was paying the same rent in February as in January despite a significantly shorter-than-mean (30.4375) month...!
My ideal year is 12 months, each 5 weeks long, each week 6 days long. At the summer solstice, 3 intercalary days (bank holidays), at the winter solstice, 2 or 3 intercalary days depending on leap year.
Sure thing Charles-Gilbert Romme.
I thought it was 13 months exactly 4 weeks long, which takes us to exactly 364 days
We could call the 13th month "Undecember"
Ugh. Lousy Smarch weather!
Extracember

Because of you I have learned the word 'intercalation', and am grateful for it.

There would be 5-6 days without time every years?
