It's Thursday Or As I'd Like to Call It...: Funny Journal for Work

Product Information

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, "Jupiter's Day". In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/ Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, Galician xoves and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau. In Judaism, Thursdays are considered auspicious days for fasting. The Didache warned early Christians not to fast on Thursdays to avoid Judaizing, and suggested Fridays instead. I disagree that ‘this Friday’ is nonsense without a context, as the ‘pointer’ or indicator to tell us is based on our understanding of what day today is. The same way we would understand ‘this week’ to be the one the current day belongs to, we can understand that ‘this Friday’ refers to the one that belongs to the current week – within reason (as the article and comments show, this is not necessarily that simple, but it is a starting point).

The rule to remember is that the apostrophe in it’s means that part of a word has been removed (in the case of it’s, the i in is or the ha in has have been dropped). When to use its vs. it’s Dictionary definition of “next”–“(of a time) coming immediately after the time of writing or speaking.” andThe most prolific artist and one of the greatest inventors of all time Leonardo Da Vinci was born on Thursday April 15, 1452. The telephone call that forever changed the lives of the Dodd family of Chicago came at noon on Thursday, June 8, 1933, as William E. Dodd sat at his desk at the University of Chicago.” – Erik Larson

In Buddhist Thailand Thursday is considered the "Teacher's Day", and it is believed that one should begin one's education on this auspicious day. Thai students still pay homages to their teachers in specific ceremony always held on a selected Thursday. And graduation day in Thai universities, which can vary depending on each university, almost always will be held on a Thursday. If you read the final part of my post you’ll see that I believe that the word “week” has been dropped from the phrase(something that’s not uncommon in English) so “this week Monday” or “next week Monday” is possibly where it started but in some areas has morphed into the confusing “this” and “next” we have now. In the United Kingdom, all general elections since 1935 have been held on a Thursday, and this has become a tradition, although not a requirement of the law — which merely states that an election may be held on any day "except Saturdays, Sundays, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Good Friday, bank holidays in any part of the United Kingdom and any day appointed for public thanksgiving and mourning".
