If we were to change the time system, we need to replace it with a much simpler alternative. I propose the following:
Instead of numbers, years become letters. 2017 will be 'A'.
Months become lower case letters, so Jan 2017 will be Aa.
Days become vowels, so 1 Jan 2017 will become Aaa.
2 Jan 2017 will become Aae etc...
When each vowel is exhausted, each subsequent day adds a consonant, so for example, 6 Jan 2017 will become Aaub.
Any disputes in this date format will be resolved by an international panel of adjudicators.
Hopefully with this system, it is possible that some date in the future spells out 'boobies' and this could become known as 'national boobies day' - with all the related festivities you can imagine.
It's clear and simple.
