WeedLordVegeta is bad at this, so have a non-twitter-based form of this question of utmost import.
In keeping with our glorious democratic tradition of imposing US values on the rest of the world, poll is first past the post, oiled up, full contact, lying not only allowed but encouraged. The losers will be fed to lions for the amusement of the winners. We who are about to vote salute you!

    I said it before and I say it again

    Week starts on Monday as far as I am concerned

    The weekend is the end of the week, Monday is the start of the work week

    It makes way more sense to have Sunday end the week, the weekend, and have Monday start it off.

    Why? You start the week off with relaxation and then finish with work. I like that concept better than working in the beginning and only getting to relax at the end.

    Monday: the answer you feel in your bones the night before
    Monday starts with mon, close to mono, indicating singular - one. So Monday is the first day.

    Tuesday sounds like twosday, so it's the second day.

    Wednesday starts with "wed", aka the wedding of the new holy trinity of Christ, Yahweh and The Holy Church when Jesus returns. Three individuals, so it is the third day.

    Thursday was originally Thor's Day. Thor rhymes with four. It is the fourth day.

    Friday starts with an F. So does the number five. It is the fifth day.

    Saturday is derived from Saturn. The sixth planet. It is the sixth day.

    Sunday SUCKS SO IT'S THE LAST DAY.

    Personally having 2 days of relaxation to look forward to is much nicer and gets you through the work week

    Well I mean you're still getting to look forward to 2 days of relaxation. The days haven't changed, just the perception of what constitutes a new week.

    I wonder why there is a supposed difference between American and European weeks?

    It doesn't quite match up. I assume Japan/China is because of US influence in WW2. It could be Buddhist though. I guess if it was Buddhist then India would be difference because of the British. But why are parts of SA and SA messed up?

    Our calendars are all Sunday first too.

    My PC calendar is Mon first, but that's probably the same for everyone world over.

    look you can love them as much as you want, wherever you're from

    but facts are facts
    Budgerigars are the only species in the Australian genus Melopsittacus, and are found wild throughout the drier parts of Australia where the species has survived harsh inland conditions for the last five million years.[2]

    this one's ours

    My week starts whenever I go back to work. Since my days off rotate, every day is the beginning of the week for me at some point. But I call those days "Monday," regardless of what actual day of the week it is.
