A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I don't see the problem, really. Base twelve is neat and all, but we're not directly going to do a lot of math with the number of months in a year, are we? And who says all seasons have to be equally long, or be defined in terms of whole months in the first place? Most people I know don't define seasons directly on the months, since they vary from year to year.
Personally I think you're looking at the wrong direction, it's hard to keep mental track of because the calendar doesn't reflect the time of seasonal change in most places where that matters. Doesn't have to be the exact equinox but roughly saying "the first day of the year marks spring" and "October 1st means the start of fall" would probably help folks remember seasons more easily.
Sure, but in that case more divisions will only help.
