I’m sorry but it doesn’t make sense TO ME. Based on what I was taught, regardless of the month, I think what matters first is to know what day of the month you are in, if at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of said month. After you know that, you can find out the month to know where you are in the year.

What is the benefit of doing it the other way around?

EDIT: To avoid misunderstandings:

  • I am NOT making fun OF ANYONE.
  • I am NOT negatively judging ANYTHING.
  • I am totally open to being corrected and LEARN.
  • This post is out of pure and honest CURIOSITY.

So PLEASE, don’t take it the wrong way.

    Here’s just one, and there are many. What you cited above doesn’t contradict what I said either…my point is it wasn’t created to intentionally slow typing down

      that just says there’s no evidence for the apocryphal theory of it slowing typing down, not what you said about speeding it up. plus “slows it down” is a corruption of the original apocryphal idea that it speeds up typewriting by preventing jams due to neighboring keys being pressed
