Unfortunately, PayPal doesn't recognize special characters, so UT will never see his $þ.

:pEasy solution. Don't write numbers on your fingers with a sharpie. Hey, wait! Why do they call it a sharpie? You can't cut yourself with it.

Sunday is the last day in the weekend, which is the very last part of the week. Monday begins the next week. . . . It's stupid to have calendars arranged with Sunday as the beginning of the week.
If you go to your User CP and select "Edit Options" / "Date and Time Options" you can set the start of the week to any day you like.

I have mine set for Wednesday.

I don't why I'm encouraging the continuing existence of this thread but in at least some European countries the calendar does start with Monday.

But SteveDallas, this is probably the most original and thought-provoking thread in the entire Nothingland forum.

The calendars I actually use (and, I bet, the calendars you actually use) have an option to set the first day of the week.

You're ranting about an obsolete technology (paper calendars).

Give him a break. The Amish don't have all those new-fangled devices like we have.
