  The US people. There went “What does the whole planet start their week on? Really? Well in that case we’ll pick Sunday”.

  A bit like what they did for pretty much everything else.

    That’s what the country was built on, the right to be as stupid as you want to be.

    Including fucking paper.

    Standard printing and normal daily usage paper in the US isn’t A4, but 8.5x11 instead.

  Brazil!

  Monday is called “Segunda” wich means “second” and every weekday follows this. So the Nth day of the week is called Nth except weekends

    I always think of segunda-feira as the first day of the week, despite the name; though it appears that calendars here start on Sunday (something I’ve never noticed).

    While it is the first day of the work week, it makes more sense to think of it as the second day in Portuguese so the naming stays consistent.

      What? no

      Monday is called “second” and is the second day of the week. The “last” day of the week sunday, is the first day and has a special, non-ordered name “Domingo”
