Most of my life I wondered why it’s called “middle of the week” when actually Thursday’s the day with an equal number of days in a week coming before and after. I often thought maybe weekend’s subtracted. Only in my late 20s I learned that there are places where the first day of the week is Sunday lol
I’m swiss and I always assumed its because of the workweek being Monday to Friday. But only a few decades ago Saturday was pretty mich a workday as well, so that probably isnt it

The funny part is the green countries in this map don’t start the week on a sunday. I guess they used to and the name stayed
Neither does the week start on Sundays in the blue countries
