I like how your suggestions successively became more radical.

But, Julian calendar? Still a rookie I see.

The calendar year has 13 months with 28 days each, divided into exactly 4 weeks (13 × 28 = 364). An extra day added as a holiday at the end of the year (after December 28, i.e. equal December 31 Gregorian), sometimes called "Year Day", does not belong to any week and brings the total to 365 days.

I suspect about 1% of the world cares enough to even have this discussion though.
