    Seasons vary by hemisphere, and it’s counterintuitive to force half of the globe to accept summer as winter or winter as summer.

      Nothing stopping the other half from just flipping it to match their seasons, that’s what they do already, and the number for date stays the same anyways

        I work and converse with people globally, as much as I love the idea of being able to use seasons as a marker of time like that, it’s just not possible.

        Now let’s work on names for this 13th month…

      Hey technically only 12% of the world’s population lives in the southern hemisphere. Nowhere close to half.
