I'm entirely aware of that.

I also think it's fucking stupid.

I've learned english as a little kid. It's been more than 20 years.

I've been formally considered "fluent" on it since I was 17, so 13 years ago.

I have never properly learned the weekday names in english. I also patently refuse.

Why isn't TWOsday the second? Why is there a fried day? Is that the only day you're allowed to eat deep fried foods?

Just number your days instead of using weird mythological names that reference gods you don't even worship anymore and used to kill people for woshipping. ****ing gringos.

Days of the week in Spanish follow almost the exact same pattern as they do in English, with the exception of the weekend.
