Most also use a decimal number system, it doesn't make it any less arbitrary. I do think that colors would reduce confusion and be significantly more intuitive, however a more official tally of active jbopre would probably be smart.
As for months, have we still settled on gregorian? It's, at the very least, widespread, but we don't have a zero index. (This may not be a problem however, as I don't think locale specifications take that into account)

I still think neutrality is important, but gleki brought up a good point on IRC : There's no way to be neutral when we're using someone else's calendar already.
ti'e even bacteria have 7-day cycles. so it might be neutral. Of course we might ask {ma jalge?}. Is it humanity that forces bacteria to follow this worldwide artificial cycle. Or is it nature that forces people to use it's 7-day cycle?
As I brought up back in Octobor 2010, out of 7 billion people in the world, of those that use a week system, approximately only 25 million people (the Igbo) use a other-than-7-day system. So, while it might irk them, the 7 day system is pretty much widespread on this planet.--gejyspa--To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to lojban+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com.
