So I'm going to assume you're all already familiar with the arguments that instead of having a symbol for π, we should have a symbol for 2π. (And if you're not, I'm about to give you a link that goes over them. :) ) Anyway, I just saw over on Nick's Twitter the "Tau Day" website, which goes over the usual arguments, but then *also* actually suggests a possibly usable replacement! Namely, τ. (Well, I guess you saw that coming.) So, today is τ day. Though I don't think "τ time" is really well-defined, seeing as there aren't 31 hours in a day...

(Yes, ordinarily I dislike all such calendar things, but this I thought was worth pointing out...)
