Unfortunately, since Sunday is the first day of the week, this makes Tuesday the third day of the week. Alas, it also only sounds like two. It's named after the Norse God Tyr. Tyr's Day.
I'm pretty sure Sunday is part of the weekend.

E:
also "sounds like" is, like, the core of pun.
Monday is the first day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601.
Seems like it's mostly some religions that place Sunday as the beginning of the week.

In the modern calendars, it appears to be subjective, but I will go on to say that the word "Sunday" appears nowhere in the Bible. It says that Sabbath is on the last day of the week. Traditionally, the Sabbath always fell on Saturday (and continues to in Jewish tradition). In Christianity, Sabbath also, always fell on Saturday. Across the ages, Christian traditions gradually shifted Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday in order to accommodate Pagan worshipers, who's equivalents of the Sabbath tended to fall on Sunday, of , who felt that in converting to Christianity, they were failing to observe the old ways.

Whatever modern calendar you follow, in the original Julian and Gregorian calendars, Sunday is the first day of the week, and it's still labeled as such on our calendars. That Sunday is the leftmost column is not arbitrary.
^Give this man a prize for knowing his history when it comes to Sabbath, Sunday and Saturday! (Seventh Day Adventist here, meaning one of the few Christian-based faiths that follows the old "Saturday is Sabbath" belief.)

You'd be surprised how many people do not know this and consider Sunday the Sabbath (thanks Old-day 'Catholics' for screwing up the calendar).

Sunday is the first day of the week, despite what some calendars tell you. The only reason they change it is to lump together the weekends for convenience. That name 'weekend' gives you the truth - the respective 'ends' of the week - the first and last day of the week. Like bookends and the ends of a piece of string. ^.^
I don't see what that has to do with anything?

22/2/22 is a day that's all about two that lands on "twos"day.

E:
Even though this has nothing to do with the punny coincidence, the link you sent says "According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week. It is followed by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday is the 7th and final day." What Christianity co-opted to supplant true religions is really immaterial here.

22/2/22 lands on 2s day...the 3rd day of the week.

Unless you go by ISO 8601, which was clearly drafted by people who don't understand how days were assigned.

Edit: And yet that very same link goes on to explain the reasoning for the numbering of the days, and that many countries still follow the old ways. The ISO 8601 calendar wasn't drafted the way it was because it's a better way. If they were trying to make a better calendar, they'd have made it a 366 1/4 day stellar calendar instead of a 365 1/4 day solar calendar. They just did it that way because they don't know better.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

When it happens, you'll still be able to day that it's to-day.
I think pianotm is missing the pun.

"tues" sounds like "twos"

E:
why the fuck is it pronounced "too"? Two is one of those words that the more you look at it the less it makes sense. "teh-whoa"

E2:
it seems that only jews (and later christians) consider Sunday the first day of the week. The Chinese and slavic countries have monday being the first day. Interesting stuff!

Tues has two too many ways of pronouncing it.

...why do you pronounce things if its all about pronunciation?

Why does 'why' have the y at the end?

Is it 'drank' or 'drunk' when you're referring to the past?

If its past-tense, why can you say that you ran a race but only when referring to it, if you're running then you run. I guess 'ranning' just sounded wrong.

...speaking of wrong, why are 'right' and 'write' the same damn word for two different things. why are some names spelled 'wright' instead? why not spell 'write' as 'wright' to make it even more confusing when you have to turn right off a four-lane highway.

And! And! What's the difference between a 'highway' and a 'freeway?' We don't have lo-ways.

Well Slavic countries are Christian too. Mostly Orthodox.

I always find it confusing when some foreign calendars have Sunday as the first day of the week. Quick-glancing the rows and a Sunday is there at the beginning and it's all weird.

ITT: People try to justify (often contradictory) religions being a better source of information than internationally accepted standards.

EDIT:

I've always pronounced Tuesday as chews-day, not twos-day. I don't think that's a British thing, probably just an Oldham thing...

After looking at some of the regional dialects in England I've determined that England is the last place you want to look to find proper pronunciation of English.

(My coworker's family say they're Geordies and some of them say the speak geordie and some say they speak pitmatic)
