I was more saying that on the basis of pretty much all calendars you will find put Sunday as the first day of the week. Most people, when saying the days of the week in order, will start with Sunday. everyone I’ve ever met refers to Sunday as the beginning of the week.No. That is wrong. Just plain wrong. Mondays are the start of the week. Nowhere in the world will you ever find a work place that considers Sundays to be the "start of the work week." And do not even try to argue otherwise from a Judeo-Christian religious perspective either; God created the world in six days, and on the seventh, he rested. That seventh day is the Sabbath, i.e. Sunday. If you think otherwise, you are just plain and simply wrong.
-Mal
Also, if you want to bring the work place into this, a work week technically only consists of Monday through Friday. When it comes to the work place, Saturday and Sunday aren’t so much weekends as they just simply don’t exist.
And if you want to bring religion into the picture, the Jewish Sabbath is on Saturday. Not Sunday. Just ask any practicing Jew (or just look it up). So if according to the Old Testament God rested on the 7th day, which was Saturday, that would put Sunday as the first day of the week.
(If I’m not mistaken, the reason Christians celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday is because that’s the day Jesus was raised from the Dead.)
