Topic: Some Suggestions...
Um... a little love for Americans? Why does the first day of the week start with Monday? I'd like the calendar to start on Sunday. Also why does the Next day highlight? I'm looking at the calendar and the 17th is listed. When it's still the 16th here on the east coast? Just two thoughts... Thanks otherwise. I love this service. Joe

Re: Some Suggestions...
Oh and the starting day of the week is Monday according to the Bible and as most people start back at work on a Monday, so makes more sense that Monday is the start of the week. Also ISO week-numbering year starts on a Monday Yes I'm bored and a little tetchy, I have a massive project that I don't really want to do but I have to do. You know the drill... Welcome to the site btw Oh and "woo" 700th post! Double welcome to the site!

Re: Some Suggestions...
And looking back on this today, these aren't suggestions at all! These are more "why isn't it my way" changes! Europe has a far larger population than that of America. It is not the centre of the world!

Looks like i'm a little late to this one, but I agree with everthing everyone has said, especially Insuborden.

Re: Some Suggestions...
What's all the bitching about here? And what have jews to do with anything? And what meening would weekend have if it weren't for two free days? But why is Wednesay in German called "Mittwoch" - which means 'middle of the week' - while Monday is the first day of the week? Too many questions but don't bother to answer!

In Bulgarian, it seems to be like it is in German - Wednesday means "middle". We, of course, start the week with Monday as well

You're always welcome in Karenland. Where Monday is but a myth, the sky is a lovely shade of purple, and the main healthy food groups are chocolate, crisps, coke and chips.

This is basically all I've eaten so far today minus the chips, those will be my dinner. I think I'm already in Karenland without even realizing it.

Re: Some Suggestions...
We'll I'm glad everyone is having so much fun at my expense ;P I just SUGGEST that there be a setting that allows the calendar to start on whatever their calendars start on, in their native country. When I look at my babe calendar, each week starts with a sunday, not a monday. Every other bleedin' calendar I look at in america has a sunday as the first day of the week. Only when I log into this bloomin' site do I have to say 'Blimey, why is this site so tossed up? Oh thats right its foreign" But thats okay I'll get over it.
