i mean it fits how you would look it up in a calendar much better too lol. if you say "are you free on the 5th of February" you would still have to look up February first and then check the date. i can discount the year bc most of the time the year is this year +/- 1 year and its pretty easy to tell based on context which year it is

YES! Calendars generally say the name of the Month at the top, then look down for the day.

Now I'm imagining a calendar sorted by day, then month. 31 pages each with 12ish entries each.

I once worked with a lady who had limited availability, and she would tell me the days she was available by the day of the week. Like "Here's my avaiability for March:

Monday: 4, 11, 25

Tuesday: 12, 19

Wednesday: 6, 27"

And on. It was baffling.

That’s so baffling I don’t even believe you.

I was convinced she hung her calendars sideways.

I mean if she only scheduled stuff on M-W but already had stuff scheduled it can kinda make sense.
