All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).
Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).
Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.
So the order of the months was more logical, and a Roman would naturally understand that September, October, November, and December read as literally the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth month respectively.
I basically constantly have to manually correct myself over and over that for example September is the 9th month, to look for the number 9 even though when I read “September” I am reading “seventh month” and my brain automatically wants to look for 7.
I think most people would not relate to my experience of the months let alone how upsetting this is to me, hence I consider it a “small hill” to die on, lol. But it’s a very big hill in my world!

Back of the line, Julius and Augustus.
or put them at the end of the year, that would fix it for me 😅 July can be the 11th month and August the 12th month!
