Why is September the ninth month and not the seventh month?

who decided that? why?

The earliest Latin calendar was a 10-month one, beginning with March; thus, September was the seventh month, October, the eighth, etc. July was originally called Quintilis, meaning fifth; August was originally called Sextilis, meaning sixth.

I'll take your word for it, but I always thought the Roman Calendar had ten months starting with January, until Augustus added in August (after himself) and July (after Julius Caesar).

Hamish Eugene, get a hobby. Or find religion. then again they amount to the same thing.

I believe the Dirty Vicar is correct.

Macrame. or lace making, you could make a pretty sailor collar for Liz, some shirt sleeve ruffles for yourself. Or you could get youself a middle name like Eugene. Rustle and I think its entirely appropriate
