I seriously doubt most people think of it like that.

  That's exactly how people think of it in the U.S.

    And that's exactly opposite of how people in Europe think. So here we go, it's a perfect example of rationalization - how humans can find any amount of reasons why their arbitrary choice is the natural one.

    Really, the "it's both ends of the week" thing? When Americans say "how was your weekend" do they really just mean either Saturday or Sunday? Or do they alternatively say "how were your weekends?", referring to both ends? I suspect the common response to the first is still a list of things you did on both Saturday and Sunday, even in the US.
