Hurrah!!!!!

Excuse the liberal use of exclamation marks - but this is such an encouraging glimmer of sanity.

Just waiting to see whether anyone acts on the advice (AND is smart enough not to take the "translations" provided in the list too literally).

@Jacob Lipman - "metric" days of the week

Actually, your idea for "metric"-ish days of the week is nothing new - in Portuguese, the weekdays are -

segunda feira (Monday)

tertia feira

quarta feira

quinta feira

sexta feira

which (as you will have guessed) translates as "second day", "third day", etc. Only the weekend days have non-trivial names (sabado and domingo). Kind of spoils the geeky fun a bit ...
