Originally posted by The PlumberWell, I don't know about other countries, but in Germany and Norway, most calendars put Monday first.
While it was nice of the ISO guys to standardize on a week with Monday as day 1 for computer standardization purposes, it is none the less true that most civilizations have for the last 5 or 6 millenia considered Sunday to be the first day of the week, and as far as I know, that hasn't changed in most places (with the notable exception of the computer folks who decided to standardize on Monday being day 1 a decade or so ago).
