?  I'm not sure it can be, Bill.  Either Sunday was indeed the first day of the week 
or it wasn't!  True, you may want to arbitrarily order these since we're dealing with 
a "cycle" here.  However, *technically* it wouldn't be entirely "correct" to use any 
other day as first of the week if historically it wasn't so.

Bill, I guess what Predrag means is that he, like many I know (so, it should actually 
be no surprise...), has difficulty knowing whether 12:00 am refers to midnight or noon 
(the same goes with 12:00 pm).

I must share my experience here that no matter how long you live under this framework 
for some reason it always seems difficult to *many* (and I must concede that at times 
I, personally, have to stop for a moment to think...) to know which one is which...  
Please, don't ask me why, it just is...
