Why should there be one official system of naming days and months? Can't we
have many valid names for each day or month and let each person call it
whichever they wish depending on what culture they're in, without having to
name that culture in the name of the day or month? I'm not opposed in
principle to having nomenclatures that include rafsi of the cultural
context
to which they apply, but if I use one that doesn't mention it, would I not
be speaking Lojban?
