      While not “metric” per se, I would be very interested to see one of those calendars implemented in the modern day where all months are 30 days long and have 3 weeks of 10 days each, with the remaining 5 or 6 days occupying a holiday at the end of the year outside of the normal months.

      The only part that might suck is how to define the work week. 6 days on/4 days off sounds reasonable enough to me, but I’d anticipate global industries everywhere trying to keep 2 days as the standard length for a weekend—now with more week.

        What are your thoughts on 13 months, each with 28 days?

        13 × 28 = 364, “New Years Day” is outside of the normal week/month schedule, and we get “New Years Day 2: (Electric Boogaloo)” on leap years.

          Also good, though part of me still likes the idea of trying to go for a base 10 standard, even if it leaves more of a remainder
