I just thought about something to add to the discussion and forgive me if I'm stating the obvious. How I think about time depends on the type of item I'm looking at.

The problem arises from the Chandler dashboard displaying different kinds of past and future items in a common list. To me, e-mails are received and viewed as past items ie. this message was sent on 'Tuesday', last Tuesday. When I think of calendar events, it is happening in the future. ie. the meeting is on 'Tuesday', the coming Tuesday.

As a result proper nouns days of the week have ambiguous meaning.

Does that make sense?
