weekEND
This argument doesn't really work because weekend could also be considered like "bookend," where they're the "end" of both sides

I always describe it like a loaf of bread. There are two end slices on each side, like Sunday and Saturday in a week on any normal calendar.

Normal calendar. Spot the American.
The UK calendar starts with Monday and ends with Sunday. I believe most/all European countries do too. Same with Australia and the Pacific.
In fact, heres a quick map: https://i.imgur.com/eHtAIwP_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium
Not as lopsided as the Celsius or Metric maps at least.

Sunday is when the week starts.
Work week starts on Monday.
There are two.
I have never internally thought "it's Sunday, the start of the week!"

"The first day of the week (for most), Sunday has been set aside as the "day of the sun" since ancient Egyptian times in honor of the sun-god, beginning with Ra. The Egyptians passed their idea of a 7-day week onto the Romans, who also started their week with the Sun's day, dies solis. When translated into early German, the first day was called sunnon-dagaz, which made its way into Middle English as sone(n)day."
I dunno. If you guys are okay with upsetting Ra, that's fine, but...
(aka this isn't just some "Silly American" thing)
looks more like Monday being the first day is a European thing
The Big Bang happened on a Sunday so...I guess that's checkmate?
