>>English is so confusing. I thought the days of the week are fully standalone entities and can start and stop on their own. Now I see that a monday can be started by a week, or a tv series or many other things. Weird.

>Of course, we could solve the confusion by going metric for the calendar and time (this being a reference to the comedy sketches in the late-night television program Saturday Night Live back in the 1970s which paroided the the information films about metric system that were being shown in the USA at that time).
>side note: The big problem that I remember about the educational program to try to introduce the metric system to the American public is that it spent far too much time with how to do conversions between the different metric and the American version of Imperial units (from what I remember, very little [if any] time was spent with the decimal nature of metric).

From what I heard about that, it was done intentionally wrong, self-prophesying its own failure.
