I just realized that September 7,Oktober 8, November 9 and December 10 is a thing. I feel a bit dumb now. Then I got mad cus it's screwed up. Was it some Romans squeezing in extra months or something?

I was just reading about this a little while ago. Basically the year used to start with March, and they didn't have names for January and February since not much happened in winter. Eventually they got named and turned into the first two months.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
