The reason this happens on commercially available, wall-hung calendars
is because they are all trying to save the extra few cm of paper, which
is less readable and an ugly hack - but justifiable, given living trees
are at stake. They often even cram the first and last day on the same
grid cell, which is impossible to reproduce on a terminal.

Historically, maybe you could use cal(1) to print your own wall-hung
calendar, I don't know if that was the case, as I was born after CRTs
became a thing. Nowadays the utility is excellent for firing up a
terminal window, typing "cal" quickly, glancing over the output, and
closing the window. Re-arranging the numbers to be LESS readable, for
the sake of imitating dead tree technology, does not seem helpful.
