Sorry to chip in. Americans spell it the same way as the British, and
that's Monday. In German, it's Montag. In Moldavian, I'm not sure, but
it seems to be a simple spelling mistake.

Now about "Work Days". In most of the Western world, that would mean
Monday-Friday, while in the Arab World, that's Saturday to Thursday,
and in Isreal, Sunday to Friday. In most of Asia, it's Monday to
Saturday. When I lived in Damascus, we had Fridays and Sundays off
(the latter due to respect the many Christians in our school, who
didn't actually care and would have preferred a two-day weekend not
interrupted by an on-duty Saturday but that's not the point). So "Work
Day" is quite a confusing concept. ;-)
