Talk:Undecimber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the Gregorian calendar really used in most of the world? I know that indians and chinese, among others, use their own calendars at least much of the time.

For non-religious purposes, yes... (By the way, there are many calendars in India, with numerous local variations.)AnonMoos 11:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Not really, in fact only 1 third of the world population uses 1 january as new year.

When writing the Undecimber stuff, I relied on the Gregorian calendar page--quote 1st sentence: "The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world." But you have a point, so I softened the sentence a bit ("almost everywhere in the world" -> "in most parts of the world"). --193.99.145.162 17:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
