Oh god. Please don't bring the general poor quality of our shared language.
Days of the week aren't the worst culprits though. It's months, the fucking months are messing with our minds.

Ooh I see a pattern - bit like numbers. *But* they don't *all* fit the pattern *and* the pattern is wrong. Why is the 12th month called Dec? Why? Why? Why? I suspect the Romans are involved.
What did the Roman's ever do for us?
You can keep your roads. You fucked up the months. You bastards.
At least you know where you are with years 2000 - 2001 - 2002. Well apart from the whole 21st century thing, that sucks. Oh and AD BC, which is also broken because of the lack of zero.
Neither the 24 hour clock or the am/pm system are satisfactory.
I really wish you hadn't brought this up. Except Tuesday I don't mind. Coz it can't be said without pouting. And you know how shallow I am.
