Except the Americans. People who simultaneously refer to Saturday and Sunday as the "weekend" and start their calendar weeks from Sunday are, truly, exceptional.
- InclinedPlane 17y agoIt's pretty common in the US, at least from my experience, for people to implicitly use Monday as the start date for the week.
- graywh 17y agoSome things are allowed to have 2 ends. Why not weeks, too?
- roundsquare 17y agoThats actually what I have always considered it to mean. Like two ends of a rope. Of course, thats probably more a function of having everyone around me call both days weekends and having sunday start off the week. I needed someway to justify it to myself...
