MS thinks America alone has a Sunday week start. Internally monday is the week start but US has a special day.

Saturday, actually -- in Judeo-Christian beliefs anyway. The Jews who
split off to form Christianity chose the first day of the week as
their holy day.
Sunday. The US still follows this practice. Much of Europe makes
Monday the first day. That seems more logical to me since it doesn't
split each weekend into two weeks.

Saying "Google search" is like saying "in the Library of Congress" or
"I looked it up in Webster's" -- there's no way to evaluate the
quality of information without a _specific_ citation.

Muslims dispute the sabbath is a day of rest (though not a day of worship). They say that God doesn't need to rest. They also point out Jesus plucked two apples from a tree and gave them to two hungery kids on the sabbath (he hadn't heard of maccas) which was a breach of Jewish law (JC did other similar things). Friday is their day of rest but this is not a religious thing - it just happened. Most believe it started with jewish markets on friday before the jewish sabbath.

Just triviata, Dave! Here is some unimpeachable evidence supplied by no less
an authority than my own precious Granddaughter:
"* Girl Scout Week begins this year with Girl Scout Sunday, March 12, which
is also the Girl Scout Birthday, and ends with Girl Scout Sabbath on
Saturday, March 18."
Now I ask you: could 50 million women and girls be wrong?

If some one would send this to the ISO people (I don't have their address),
they could get their heads on straight and get on to some important work!!
They evidently don't have daughters or grandaughters, poor guys.
Hey, anybody want some cookies? I got gobs of them.

Well I was a cub, scout, ranger, adventurer. My sister's were guides (how come girls join scouts but boys don't join guides). I remember NOTHING christian about it. Perhaps you should seek union with Iran as two religious nutter countries.
