This ranks so far down the list of problems with society that it's not even worth mentioning. But every day of the week should start with a different letter so they are easier to abbreviate! Having two "T-days" is just fucking nuts to me. I'm ok with the weekend days both starting with the same letter because that can just be a signifier that it's the weekend. But ideally? Every day gets it's own letter and you can just say "something happens T-day" instead of "something happens Tues".
Even though the days are named differently in spanish, we still have the same problem. We have 2 days that start with M: "martes" and "miércoles". Luckily, someone noticed it was an issue and it's common to use an X for "miércoles" (instead of LMMJVSD, calendars often use LMXJVSD). I find it kinda neat.
That is really neat! I wish we could figure out something similar in English.
