What do you mean by this? I mean, what behaviors do US people exhibit to show this to be true?
I was born in the US and have lived here almost my entire life. I consider Monday to be the first day of the week, and I haven't seen anything in US culture to indicate that other people disagree or behave otherwise (except for the default behavior in some calendar apps in the US locale).
- Symbiote 4y agoPrinting all calendars and design all calendar software with Sunday in the first column is a big clue that most Americans consider Sunday the start of the week. In Europe, printed calendars and apps have Monday in the first column.
- DocTomoe 4y agoBeing European, I prefer "Sunday in column 1" calendars. Not for religious reasons or because I consider Sunday to actually be the first day of the week, but for practical reasons: It gives me a clearer understanding of the workweek. It moves Wednesday (in my language called "middle of the week") into the week's center. It deemphasizes the weekend for planning (and thus for planning work), making them better rest days. YMMV.
