7 Days of the Week

[dom]

Everybody knows that there are 7 "days of the week".

But do you know that there are only 5 "weekdays"?

And of course there are 2 days at the "weekend".

The days of the week come from the Names of mythical figures,
so the first letter of each day must be a CAPITAL letter.

Days of the Week:
Monday = associated with the Moon
Tuesday = from the god Tiw, associated with Mars
Wednesday = from Germanic god Odin
Thursday = from Germanic god of thunder Thor
Friday = from Germanic goddess Frigga associated with Venus
Saturday = associated with Saturn
Sunday = associated with the Sun

Weekdays:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Weekend:
Saturday, Sunday

Here are the abbreviations:

Mo., Mon.
Tu., Tue., Tues.
We., Wed.
Th., Thu., Thur., Thurs.
Fr., Fri.
Sa., Sat.

Friend 1: Hey, what's going on, man. It's been a long time since we saw each other.
Friend 2: Yeah. I'm great, man. How about you? How's your business?
Friend 1: Well, nothing great, man. Still struggling.
Friend 2: Ooh, don't give me that long face. Someday you'll make it. Don't worry, man.
Friend 1: I don't know, man. That's not very encouraging. I know there's a Sunday, a Monday, a Tuesday... but, I'm pretty sure there is no someday. :lol:
