No offense but subtracting two days and re-adding them to February will result in February or another month ending up with alternating with 30 and 31 to make up for the extra hours that are completed in a leap year and that will make it more confusing where you get all the months with 30 in a leap year, making it more difficult than usual for less intelligent people to easily identify. Right now its simple. February has 28 or 29, never 30, thus it can never be confused. You just have to remember the old poem I was taught.

30 days have September, April, June and November All the rest have 31. Save February alone, which has 28 and 29 in each leap year.

Yeah... the wording isn't probably the same as the original, but its what I always use when not looking at a calendar. If I was not clear, try this, so every month has either 30 or 31 right? So the leap year month would be a 30 day one that becomes a 31. Now things get confusing since most of us will not notice that its not a leap year. To elaborate a bit more, how many people fell for this prank? Now imagine if the leap year month were 30 usually. Now its much easier to prank since the number that pops into everyone's head is either 30 or 31.
