   You left out a common possibility: Saturday. Much of the middle east/north Africa begin the week on Saturday.

   Friday is a minute possibility, also.

   (My week starts on Sunday, where I live, they consider Monday the start of the week. I know this, but internally, I've dealt with Sunday for most of my life and therefore...
   but yes. It's not a Sunday/Monday thing. It's a Saturday/Sunday/Monday thing, with a slight chance of Friday.)

     @Truck Oh wow, thanks! I didn't realize there was that much variance, but I guess I should have suspected. I've added another poll to add Friday/Saturday at least.

     I've lived in the US my whole life, where our calendars usually start on Sunday, but I've always considered Monday to be the first day of the week, and set my calendars to do so when I can. I kinda thought the calendar was some weird historical quirk or something and most in the US thought the same as me, but ran into confusion the other day over it and realized maybe not!
