never thought about it, but: have you ever noticed?
sept ember: sept means seven.
oct ober: oct means eight.
dec-ember: dec means ten.
there's a two month discrepancy in the naming system for months. apparently something happened when we shifted over to the gregorian calendar system. i don't know why they didn't just shift these month names over... but i guess it's too late now. "december chill" doesn't sound so chilly when we're just talking about a little fall breeze when you're wearing your halloween costume... and "christmas in september" sale; it just doesn't sound right.
