    You want to expand your business to Europe. Bam, your code is broken, in Europe the week starts on Monday.

    Than you want to expand to the middle east. Bam, broken again… Because in arab countries and Israel, the weekend is on Friday and Saturday.

    Then you want to expand to Mexico and India. Bam, broken again, their weekend is only on Sunday.

      I’m English, not American but I see it as Saturday and Sunday are the two ends of the week. Like how a string has two ends. The weekend is both the start and the finishing end of the week.

        So, when someone asks if you are free the next two weekends, you assume they’re talking about the next Saturday (tail weekend) and the next Sunday (front weekend)?
