Life always finds a way.

You need an intercession day every year. Might as make it New Year's Day. And every four years still need an additional day.

But otherwise, I would be game.

The big fight will be over what to name the 13th month. Most of our month names are from Roman gods, emperors and numbers.

tredecimber for the thirteenth month?

Right, there would still be a need for a day or so extra at times. Would make nice holidays.

And the moon cycle would not start on the annual cycle anyway. Dunno what you can do about that. Muslims just gave up and let the new year keep shifting throughout the solar year so that months are exactly aligned with the moon. The Jewish calendar is insanely complicated. So maybe it can't be done in any reasonable way.

We could also get back to sane naming of months. Sep - Dec always bothered me. I know they were literally the seventh to tenth months in the Roman calendar, but now they are not.
