This is something I literally only started thinking about recently and I never realized consciously that calendar start on Sunday. I agree, I don't give a shit what the calendar says or what my pay period is, etc. the week starts on Monday and saying otherwise is absurd. You have the 5 days of work and then the weekend, therefore Monday is the start of the new week.

Week starts on Monday, ends on Sunday
Do american calendars really start on Sunday?

Is this like the Metric/Imperial thing where the entire world does one thing but americans think their thing that only they do is the norm?

These stupid arguments always baffled me.

What do you guys think is a "weekend"? Does it include Sunday? If yes then Sunday is the end of the week.

If Sunday is the last day, then Saturday is not part of the weekend.

You can reverse weeks. Because they exist for the purpose of organizing the past and future. You can look back and go Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday.

If you are talking about time only moves forward, then you are both misunderstanding what a week is and failing to realize that under that framework, the week has no beginning or end.

Double the cope.
There are orders in things.
On numbers it's from the smaller to bigger.
On days, it's the earlier to latest.
Even if you insist Saturday is the last day with that graphic, it means you also say Friday is the first day.

SuMoTuWeThFrSa

TuWeThFrSaSuMo

It is just and endless loop, there's no earlier or later. So we just pick two days and decide we will use their boundary to count weeks. Some people do the SaSu boundary, some do the SuMo boundary.
All I am saying is that the two days at the boundary make up the weekend.

You can think of it like taking a loop and picking a place to cut it to create image I made.

You just making up stupid excuses.
There's only start and ends, not two ends.

Back to that graphic, even it means the Start of the week is Monday, as both Saturday and Sunday are the ends.

The only order is MonTueWedThursFriSatSun
With italic as start and bold as ends.
Even Friday often lumped together as weekends along with Saturday and Sunday.

This is entirely wrong.

There are 7 valid orders. You can pick any day to be the "start"
Like WedThursFriSatSunMonTue is entirely correct.

There is a good reason why my graphic doesn't specify what block represents what day. It allows the viewer to pick whatever order they feel is best. And then shows them that the starting end and finishing end are both ends.

Something I wanna add is that the two traditional days off work arent called the weekend in all languages. In Swedish they are called helgen which kinda mean days of rest and come from helig which mean holy.

Certainly not a good reason since that graphics means weekends can be monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, otlr even Thursday

India seems to be Sunday from my Googling and if you look up Indonesian calendars, some have Sunday as the first day even. I don't know man but even I thought Monday was the first day of the week only to find out it's technically Sunday in the US, which I disagree with.

Seems your source are outdated for 80 years because that was leftovers from Dutch Colonial era.
From since i was born 40 years ago until now we always use Monday as the start of the week because we start to work that day after the week ends.
But sure, internet always right even when the natives said otherwise.

Looks like you just proved there is no one right answer.

To borrow a quote from Douglas Adams, "Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so." Days of the week are made up by humans so when it begins is doubly made up; there isn't a definitive answer if people disagree in large enough groups to form different standards.

Yeah, this is inaccurate
Can confirm, here in South Korea the week starts with Monday. Pretty sure the list I posted is more accurate because it's based off of official standards like ISO 8601.

See how today is the second day of the 26th week of the year? And today is Tuesday. Which means that the first day of the week is Monday.

Saturday is the last day of the week traditionally, being the Sabbath or day of rest, coinciding with the day God rested after creating the universe. The old Georgian calendars that modern calendars are based on follow that tradition.
