I wondered how long it'd be before you saw that one! 
Personally I wouldn't think it's a result of nationality, but hey- that's just me. |

Yeah.. as far as I know, brazilians have a fame of being lazy and doing things half-arsed.

I dunno... that Adriana Lima has it goin' ON, man!
Plus, the only Brazillian I've ever had experience with has been too busy working his butt off on Star Wars Sourcebooks for me to ask him if he's lazy or not...  |

Maybe you can call me lazy on the account of: Where do you find so much free time to do all this rpg stuff?

Y'know, I never thought about that... Hmm. Well, he was raised a farmboy so maybe that has more to do with it. And yeah, where does Gry get all this free time...?

Answer: Sleeping is for sissys. You can rest when you're dead.

What number are you getting?
Ten 35-day months, plus three 5-day festival weeks, plus three festival days: 350+15+3=368. IIRC (my books are packed away in storage), a year in the SWU is 368 days.

I was going off of the numbers listed in the sources. Thanks for clearing up the confusion though, I was racking my brain trying to figure things out.
I guess this just goes to show what you get for trusting the Internet. |

Thanks. I believe that is laid out in one of the Tapani books.

Hey, this is "the internet" too. The internet is a mix of information and misinformation. It's not all or nothing. A little research and some critical thinking go a long way.
In general, Legends articles on Wookieepedia tend to have more information than their Canon counterparts (somewhat because Canon is newer but also because Canon is "fluff light"). But this is the exception; the Canon tab of the Wook article you shared actually has better details. Below is the direct link.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Galactic_standard_calendar
| Quote: | Its fundamental unit, the standard day, was based on one complete revolution of Coruscant. The planet took 368 standard days to make one complete orbit of its star, Coruscant Prime, a time period that became the standard year.
The year was divided into standard months and standard weeks. The length of a month, 35 days, was determined by the syzygy of Coruscant's primary moon Centax-1—the time it took to pass from one new (or full) moon to the next. The month was divided into seven weeks, each containing five days named after celestial bodies or historical inhabitants of Coruscant: Primeday, Centaxday, Taungsday, Zhellday, and Benduday.
There were 10 standard months in a standard year, which only added up to 350. Therefore, the "missing" 18 days were made up of three festival of fete weeks, plus three regular annual holidays. New Year Fete Week fell in the first five days of the new year, before the first month, while the Festival of Life fete occurred between the sixth and seventh, and the Festival of Stars between the ninth and tenth. The three holidays varied depending on the local culture. For example, Boonta Eve and Harvest Day were only observed on Tatooine. |
Combine the above with the fact that Coruscant's hours in a day, minutes, and seconds are the same as in our real world timekeeping system, and you've got it all except for where the three single-day holidays are on the calendar and the names of the months (if they have names).
It wouldn't make sense for the single-day holidays to land in the middle of the week (thus making a six-day week), but I guess it is possible. If Boonta Eve (or more likely, "Boonta") is one of those holidays, then it could fall in between the third and fourth weeks of the fourth month, based on published TPM dating using this calendar.
