Should be one day, ten day, eleven day, hundred day, hundred one day, hundred ten day, and hundred eleven day
"Tuesday" which sounds like "twos-day" is day number 2 in the week whether you one-index and start your week on Monday *or* zero-index and start your week on Sunday.

And 22/2/2022 was a Twosday!

It’s from Tyr, the Norse god. Originally closer to Tyr’s day, hence the odd spelling relative to the pronunciation.
Likewise we have (W)Odin’s Day, Thor’s Day, Frida’s Day, and Saturn-Day. Of course there’s also the Sun’s day and the Moon’s day.

What if you use the duodecimal system?

I don’t know what library books have to do with any of this.
WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 10 months ago
I get my calendars from the library.

Feel like this post was just a reason to say one- and zero-index.

Fuck it, we’re two-indexing now.

Unfortunately zero-indexed Mondays are the only sane way to live life…
