Advantages
- The calendar starts on the same day of the week every year.
- There are no fragments of weeks at the beginning or end of the year.
- Unlike the Gregorian calendar, variations of years are limited to a possible addition of a leap week.
- For leap week calendars without months, each date of the year can be completely specified with three data (week, weekday, year), instead of four (weekday, month, ordinal day, year).
- Unlike certain proposed calendar reforms such as the World Calendar and International Fixed Calendar, there are no exceptions to the seven-day cycle of the week. This avoids opposition from religious groups who object to interruption of the weekday sequence.

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:
“We work harder than ever, and I cannot see the advantages in cooperative living.”
—Lydia Arnold, U.S. commune supervisor (of the North American Phalanx, Red Bank, New Jersey, 1843- 1855)
“A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.”
