In my country, the week starts on monday
I think weeks start on monday everywhere except for one country..
Yeah, the country that makes all the fking calendar apps that make me go to settings and change the first week day. Every time. God fking why.
Uhh no. India too has Sundays as the first days of the week.
it has always absolutely baffled me that anyone would say the week starts on sunday, sunday is the weekend????
AMERICA
I prefer this America

I think it's a US thing to start on Sunday 1
As an American, I always thought that was another country's thing. Because we certainly don't start our weeks on Sunday in practice.
Seems to be mostly a thing in the Americas and Middle East.
God damn right.
Ahhhh forget it then .... junk the proposed calendar system
Unless .............. we start the week on a Tuesday
This is how I also choose to live
I hate apps starting on Sunday, but it kinda makes sense to start on sun-day rather than on moon-day.
I don't know if any day makes more sense, it's really a question of habits.
Sunday is often associated to religion because it is church day for christians, that might explain why most country start or end the week on that day. I could imagine that jewish country could prefer using saturday as the first (or last) day of the week.
In my biased french mind, it is weird to break the 'weekend' into two different weeks, it makes sense to me that those two days are at the end of the week.
But then again, really a question of habits
Sun rise probably universally represents the beginning of something while the night represents an end. It would be nice to start with sun day and end with moon day.
Your country is wrong. 😉
