English names of days are weird. You have the day of the sun and the moon, ok. Fine. Then Tuesday - Friday are norse gods (Tyr, Odin, Thor, Freya), but what's Saturday doing there?! Saturn is a completely different pantheon!
In Czech we have it simple - Monday is "after Sunday", then there's Secondday, Middleday, Fourthday, Fifthday, Sabbath and Not-working-day.
This reminds me how setting prints letter-by-letter was time consuming, so the printers had common words or even whole phrases ready too. It was called stereotype.

It looks pathetic. Block whoever you want, but keep it to yourself. Nobody cares.
He needs help to care for more people than just himself.
Because of the implication.
You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through.
I need an Everett True-Jucika crossover comic.
