41054-03-15 Society for Decimal Time calls for new date system
The Society for Decimal Time issued a written public attempted-persuasion today, calling for a date system based on the idea of having 10 periods of 140 days per year, with 10 or 11 additional intercalary days to sync the day and year cycles. The persuasion notes that having 10 periods instead of 31 would make gross intra-year measurement simpler. Dorsura, appointed face of Archivists Without Affiliation, said:
We[ex] remain against any change to the calendar system. The orbital discrepancy adjustment was an unfortunate necessity, but we[in] have not needed to adjust our[in] date system for nearly 4000 years. Our[in] ability to accurately date historical documents has greatly benefited from the adoption of the global standardized calendar. The ease of manual intra-year date calculations is of negligible benefit compared to ensuring the integrity of the historical record.
The Society for Decimal Time hopes to accumulate the $3,0000 attention-auction price to put its proposal on the slate for next year's Larger Continent Metrology Standardization Group meeting on 41055-13-20.
