Forget using 9 letters to abbreviate 7 days. Who cares if they're named after Norse gods? Don't see that as a valid excuse. From now on it's S M T W C F Z. Much better.

Haha maybe we could just call it "aliensquidgodday" and make the abbreviation an A |
|
| |
I've sometimes seen "R" used as an abbreviation for thuRsday. I do sorta like Zaturday, though since it's typically the day for sleeping in perhaps it should be Zzzaturday. |
|
| |
To call Cthulu an alien squid god is to deny your own alien squid god nature. |
|
| |
Apparently he's Cthuddhist. |
|
| |
Many people count Monday as the first day in the week. They'd expect Aday to be Monday, not Sunday. |
|
| |
I guess that mighty Cthulhu must have got fed up with being continually thwarted on the big plots. Now he's just going to be happy with his name on one of our days? Dreams ain't what they used to be down in sunken R'lyeh. |
|
| |
Theta (O with horizontal bar inside) is a good abbreviation for Thursday. |
|
| |
Thorn is probably better for Thursday, given the etymology. |
|
| |
Good idea to put the days of the week in alphabetical order, but they should be short and easy to pronounce. |
|
| |
Sunday, Tunday, Uesday, Wednesday, Xursday, Yday, Zaturday. |
|
| |
typed EBay into my search engine and ended up here....EDay??? what is that??? :-) |
|
| |
Aday, Bday, Cday, Dday, Eday, Fday, Gday. |
|
| |
In Mandarin, the days of the week are (starting with Monday): |
|
| |
Xingxi Yi,
Xingxi Er,
Xingxi San,
Xingxi Si,
Xingxi Wu,
Xingxi Liu,
Xingxi Tian |
|
| |
Week One,
Week Two,
Week Three,
Week Four,
Week Five,
Week Six,
Week Heaven |
|
| |
Now THAT'S the right idea! |
|
| |
(They do a similar thing for months here,too - July is 'Seven Month', for example). Easy! |
|
| |
Schedules at NC State University abbreviate days M T W H F S U. |
|
| |
I also use theta as the Thursday abbreviation. And I use sigma for Sunday (in math, sigma means sum--"SUm" and in "SUnday".) |
|
| |
M T W R F A U (for "aturday" and "unday") |
|
| |
//Schedules at NC State University abbreviate days M T W H F S U.// |

Hopefully they don't have a class that runs Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. |
|
| |
Oh why don't you be quiet. |
|
| |
To follow the tradition of naming days after gods, maybe some of the new gods could be used:
Carsday and Blingday. S M T W C F B. |
|
| |
we know that every dog has its day, (IT) so why can't
every day have its dog? - hence: mondog, tuesdog,
wednesdog, thursdog, fridog, saturdog, sundog |
|
| |
..but those Dog Days would only have Afternoons... |
|
| |
(BTW - was this [Susen]'s first ever anno? (above). If so, what a gift of the gods that she arrived in the HB via a typo in a search request! |
|
| |
[+] BTW in Heb the days are written by the Aleph-Bet: A,B,C,D,E,F and Z (the seventh letter) for Shabbat. |
|
| |
+ Hey, it's been almost 6 years and this has not been instituted yet....let's get on with it. |
|
| |
Lundi, Tuesdi, Wensdi, Thursdi, Fridi, Satdi, Bundi. |
|
| |
But I do like Cthursday. But can we change Zaturday to Pzaturday please? I'd even accept Psaturday. |
