I wonder why we haven't thought of a decimal calendar synced with the seasons like: W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6 W7 W8 W9 SPR 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10

I wonder why we haven't thought of a decimal calendar synced with the seasons like:
W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6 W7 W8 W9
SPR 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
SUM 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
AUT 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
WIN 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 1 [1]
So we only have four months (seasons) and each has nine weeks of ten days each. Each season starts with a neutral day (equinox and solstice) then follow the weeks with ten days each. At the end of the year there is a universal holiday and an extra holiday for leap year.
We could also name all days of the week after the eight planets and the sun as initially intended (including moonday). We could have seven working days and three days off or three working days then two off then three more working days then two off per week.
Whatever, just wanted to leave a stinky brainfart in this room for posterity.

- tzs 8y agoA season-based calendar, The World Season Calendar, was proposed by Isaac Asimov. It consisted of four seasons, named A, B, C, and D, corresponding to Winter/Spring/Summer/Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer/Autumn/Winter/Spring in the Southern Hemisphere. Each season looked like this: Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 ... 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 That gives 91 x 4 = 364 days. An extra day, called Year Day, occurs between D 91 and A 01 of the next year, and is not part of the 7 day week cycle. In leap years another extra day, also outside the week cycle, called Leap Day is added between B 91 and C 01.
