Well, UK and US also still cling to the imperial system, besides it making no goddamn sense, so insisting on using an outdated form of calendar isn't that big of a surprise. :P

There are like 2 things 'we cling' to in terms of the imperial system in the UK, Miles (MPH) for vehicles and what units milk comes in (and beer). 

Not sure why anyone uses the mm/dd/yyyy calendar system, that's just stupid.

 

On subject, it's sad that we are losing those that remember. The time when we lose the last person to remember WWI will be a sad time.

Eh, we still have call of duty to remind us of WW1

Why not get rid of months altogether. They don't line up with the lunar cycle anyway, nor weeks, nor anything really. Pointless measurement. Align the weeks with the year, have 1 extra sunday at the end of the year, 2 for leap years, 3 sundays! It would things a lot more easy!

Of course this week notion is pretty outdated as well and just based on some religious nonsense :)
