A day is defined as a single rotation around earths axis. A year is a single rotation around the sun. The 356.2422 is the result of those two definitions. Earth takes 356.2422 rotations around its axis to rotate around the sun. That is a fact. You could define a unit to be 366th of a rotation around the sun, you could even call it a day, but as a result you lose the reason a day is a useful unit: It’s the time it takes for earth to spin around its axis, a far more useful definition than 366th of a year.

I propose we make the calender a nice round 360 days, then have a roughly 5-6 day holiday for new New year around the spring equinox.
