Hello,
Would someone please explain the logic behind labelling months 9, 10, 11 and 12 with names which suggest 7, 8, 9 and 10? Has it something to do with the Julian/Gregorian transition?
Furthermore, why aren't the balance of the months (back to March, which would be Month One) named with their corresponding Latin prefixes? (And as a point of interest, what would those prefixes be? Hex, Pent, etc?)
