Re: [lojban] An alternative day-of-week list

[tijlan <jbotijlan@gmail.com>]

What about those non-7-day weeks?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week#.22Weeks.22_in_other_calendars

There can be no consistent correspondence for the starting day of the
week unless we ignore certain calendars with different cycles.

Why would Lojbanistan choose the 7-day week? Because it's an
international standard, adopted by the ISO? Isn't that adoption on
hegemonic rather than scientific grounds? Is there any real neutral
basis for the days of the week of any traditional calendar as there
are for the length of the Earth's day or year?

I care about which day is "Monday" etc. only as long as other people
do. Personally, I would be happy to get rid of those traditional time
units and live by the days of the year: "on the 32nd ... 182nd ...
365th" (yes, no months either).
