...Well, I could try to explain, if you like. We may eventually use one of those listed systems for our calendar.

Um, well, ours is the one with the seven day weeks and twelve month year.

[chikaidestroyer]

Did you use named days for each day of the week, or a numerical system?

My own world had a five-day week, named after the five elemental runes. Our months were numerical, and went up to twelve in one year.

The ones you have listed there, Monday, Tuesday, and so on.

So you have shorter years?

[chikaidestroyer]

So you're in the majority, then. Would you approve of instituting that calendar here?

Only slightly -- our year comes to 360 days. The length of our month is what really differed; instead of four, our month is six weeks long.

I think I'd get too confused if people picked something else, honestly...

Well if the weeks are shorter then it adds up... I guess. This is too much math for me.
