Oh I get it, mid to late year, mid to late week, and mid to late in the day.
I’ll go one step further and say 7:15 pm hits way different than 8:37 am.
It feels more like 7pm to me
Wrong.
Thur 4/7 October 10/12 8pm. 8/12
Take out weekends and include all 24 hours of the day:
Thursday 4/5 = 0.8
October 10/12 = 0.833
8pm 20/24 = 0.833
“Octo” in October means eight. Makes sense.
I don’t know about Thursday, i dont feel the same connection.
“Octo” in October means eight.
Well it did, then some assholes named Julius and Augustus had to fuck it up. Somebody should stab one of those fuckers
Common misconception.
July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn’t even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.
