But I want to know if I worked the day before or if I’ll work the day after. I can’t stay out Sunday night, now can I?
What I don’t get is why people go “But it’s the weekends. They should be at the end!” Well if the week starts on a Monday, then Saturday isn’t bloody well at the end, now is it? IS IT?! :mad:
Wait… Christians don’t have a Sabbath?
The logic goes like this: the weekend (singular: who says weekends?) is a group of two days. This group of two days is at the end of the week, so should be placed together on the calendar at the right-hand-side (since we read left to right.)
It is more common to have an activity that covers both days on the week-end (e.g. ski trip, camping). It’s easier to write across two adjacent columns than it is to write half on one column and half on the other column on the opposite side of the table, and also easier to see at a glance which activity covers two days.
Sort of. The Sabbath was originally Saturday. Then the Christianity thing started and there was a lot of arguing. Are Christians Jews first? Do they have to follow all the Old Testament rules?
I suspect that for the first hundred years or so there were Christians keeping the Sabbath and Christians keeping the Sabbath while also having their own meetings on Sunday (in honor of the Resurrection) and Christians bagging the Sabbath and only meeting with other Christians on Sunday. Eventually there were enough Christians that some committee somewhere decided to meet only on Sunday and *call *it the Sabbath.
Wiki says that the word derives from a word meaning ‘to cease’, so any regular day off could use the word.
Yes they do, and it’s on the seventh day 
Not all Christians go to church on Sunday.
