    Wouldn’t it make sense to have the 1st be a Sunday and 28th be a Saturday?

        TIL, in the UK we seem to see Sunday as the first day of the week, but under ISO it’s monday. Interesting.

          Looks like the answer has to do with the predominant religion in the area (if any)

          Most of Europe and China consider Monday the first day of the (work) week, while North America, Israel, South Asia, and many Catholic and Protestant countries, consider Sunday the first day of the week, while Saturday is judged as the first day of the week in much of the Middle East (Israel excepted) and North Africa due to the Islamic influence.

      I used to think the same, even made fun of friends and family for setting calendars to start on Monday, but then I tried it and found the light

          I like having the weekend lumped together, it’s called a weekend for a reason!
