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:
“If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“[T]here is no Part of the World where Servants have those Privileges and Advantages as in England: They have no where else such plentiful Diet, large Wages, or indulgent Liberty: There is no place wherein they labour less, and yet where they are so little respectful, more wasteful, more negligent, or where they so frequently change their Masters.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“... there are no chains so galling as the chains of ignorance—no fetters so binding as those that bind the soul, and exclude it from the vast field of useful and scientific knowledge. O, had I received the advantages of early education, my ideas would, ere now, have expanded far and wide; but, alas! I possess nothing but moral capability—no teachings but the teachings of the Holy Spirit.”
—Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
