Road Runner Posted August 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2015 ...that the last four months of the year are all misnamed thanks to some silly Roman dictators? We have two months named after a couple of guys who specialized in killing and enslavement of countless numbers of people for no reason other than the spread and wealth of the Roman Empire! If Hitler had changed July to Adolphember, would we still be using that name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted August 4, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2015 Not much bothers me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted August 4, 2015 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2015 Does it bother me? Yes, a little.But then again, naming September through December as the 7th through 10th months seems a little lazy. Kind of like "Avenue A" on a street map. How about a little effort?I dated a girl in high school who had twelve siblings. She probably would have had a tough time if her parents had named her "Seven".I don't remember where the names of January through June came from, or if such a system could have been continued.

TrentonMakes Posted August 4, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 4, 2015 MARGE: [voiceover] It all started on the thirteenth hour, of the thirteenth day, of the thirteenth month. We were at Springfield Elementary to discuss the misprinted calendars the school had purchased. HOMER: [shivering, looking at calendar] Lousy Smarch weather!

Road Runner Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted August 4, 2015 I change the names of all the months to jsharr. Today is the 4th of jsharr.The jsharrian calendar. I like it. But having every month the same name would be confusing. You should name each month after something or somebody you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted August 4, 2015 Share #12 Posted August 4, 2015 I know. It's hard to think about anything else, isn't it? Stupid Italians. Don't involve the Italians. Those peeps brought us great things, like espresso. It's not Italians fault. It's the Romans fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted August 4, 2015 Share #13 Posted August 4, 2015 Well I'll be darned. I never connected Sept through Dec as 7-10. Shouldn't it be Nonember, then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted August 4, 2015 Share #14 Posted August 4, 2015 for no reason other than the spread and wealth of the Roman Empire! Well, it would have been stupid to do all that killing and enslaving if their reason was winning a popularity contest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
