People that found this helpful going to be big mad when they find out that if we really had 13 months in a year many things in life would be 10x easier. 365/13=28.

Actually, 13*28 is 364, not 365, so there's a leftover day.

Despite that, I'm still in favour of having 13 4 week months. Can use the last day as a special no day. Would be hell for computers, though.

I'm a little mad ... but only because I didn't know you could be big mad, but it makes sense now that I think about it.

Sure. It doesn’t account for leap year either. Neither does OP’s subject. Does that make the original question wrong?

Most of the comments in this thread are discussing rounding. It’s why I started out with “anyone that finds this thread useful…” are also likely to also find it useful to know that 13 period accounting is a real thing and very related to the original subject.

if we moved to a system of 13 months in a year a lot of things in life would be much simpler to calculate.
