How do you think Guy feels?
I heard that he doesn't give two Fawkes.
Don't worry, I'm already showing myself out.

English is not as great as it thinks tbh.
You don't even have a name for a 24 hour period of time, like civilized societies have.
See you in 12 nights and 13 days etc..
Bonus info, did you know that if a day + night was instead 25 hours, then all the summertime/wintertime, months having unequal number of days etc, would'nt be an issue so our calendar is basicly a product of poor math skills.

Admittedly it's not a very commonly used word and doesn't save any syllables over "Twenty Four Hours"

But wouldn't a 25 hour day mean that dawn and sunset timings would get more and more fucked as time went on?
Think we have a venue and a date locked down for our night. Will know for sure by the weekend

Speaking of maths skills, you've failed to realize that adding one hour to every day of the year gives you an extra 365.25 hours in said 'year'.

and no, I think that is the stabilizing factor towards the time where the shortest and the longest day occur where you used to divide the seasons.
I'm out of water here tho'. I can barely count.
Heard a lecture about it some time ago. See if i can find it.

no, it obviously detracts in days like with there being for example 31 days in some months and there wouldn't be if there was 25 hours in a nycthemeron.
Impressively, I have a zero in both the oral and written maths exams (like college?, Im not sure) and I took the test seriously.
