I think it was after reading Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, years ago, that the thought struck me, “What if there’s even an ounce of truth to that? What if the constant use of names of ancient gods (and kings) in weekdays, months, and planets, contribute to keeping mankind in this low vibration hell?” So I came up with a simple renaming based on numerals, which as far as I can tell have no such association with ancient entities, real or imagined. I can’t find it in my blog, so I’m not sure when exactly I first proposed it, but it goes something like this for weekdays: Oneday, Twosday, Threeday, Foursday, Fiveday, Sixesday, Sevenday, starting the week on a workday as do the Germans. I pluralized the even numbers to make the transition a little easier, since Twosday will sound the same as the existing name, and Foursday comes close, substituting a labial fricative for a dental, and using a different vowel. Sevenday, if the 2nd syllable is elided, sounds almost the same as the existing name as well. On calendars, don’t use OTTFFSS, use 1234567.
Same idea for months and planets, only without the plurals: Onemonth, Twomonth, etc., and Onenet, Twonet, …
Sure, it’s ugly, and people probably won’t switch to it. But I think the experiment has some potential value. I might just make a calendar and send some out one of these years.

What a thought-provoking concept! There is no question that Generation Zero will grab onto it. Everything will ultimately be called a whatchamacallit and there will be no war.
PEACE OUT, JC.
