    Thursday = 4/7 = 0.571

    8pm = 20/24 = 0.833

    October = 10/12 = 0.833

    Saturday =6/7 = 0.857

    Unless you only count work days, then Thurs = 4/5 = 0.8

    I rest my case

              I sincerely hesitated before posting that, unsure of the word “affliction.” I’ve only ever known one person with it and they didn’t seem to suffer from it. However, their view of the world absolutely was fascinating.

              I intend no denigration of anyone with synesthesia. However, for anyone with it reading this, I’d love to learn more from you.

        I literally cannot for the life of me explain why.

        But خميس? The name of Thursday in my native Arabic?

        Ah but Jeudi, the French name. Sun high in the sky. Very round.

        I cannot even begin to explain.

        Common misconception.

        July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn’t even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.

        Decent overview here: https://study.com/academy/lesson/the-ancient-roman-calendar-history-months-saints.html
