Here are the names I propose: Firstuary, Seconduary, Terciary, Quada, Pentia, Sekstember, September, October, November, December, Elfia, Swoelfia, and Thriesa.

I’m tired of dealing with months with varying number of days. If we switch to having 13 months, every month will have 28 days. No more having to keep track of the number of days. I think we also need to change the names of the months to make it easier.

This is a grossly short-sighted decision by Secretary Collins. We need answers and accountability.
