Though with regards to the standardized ISO 8601 Gregorian calendar, I can't see how that's the case, unless we factor in timezones, in which case maybe it's something to do with the international date line.
@torresjrjr Wait a minute... on number 5: How could a month ever not start and end in the same year?
Week, sure. But months shouldn't overlap years.
