The
background of things when a person is in high school? Why is our day set in a unique order of its own for the planets? Where, in Rome, the 7 day
- week had supplanted the 8 day week based on market days, it was common
- understood the seven days were named for the classical planets in a geocentric universe, i.e. The planets were actually one planet. After the 7 day week, which is called Rome-the 8 day week, came the 7 day week. The days were not sequenced in the order I are shown in
- this comic. The stars in this comic are Jupiter, Monkey, Moon, Saturn and Venus.
The order follows the astrological planetary hours but it is no longer commonplace. What planet do the first hour of every day ruled?
The rest of the question is pure arithmetic. Twenty-four hour rule leaves a remainder of three. So like the day of the Sun, the next day is three planets to the right in the list, the moon’s day, and so on.
When after expanding contact with the Roman Empire Germanic tribes adopted and adapted the seven day week, they remythologized the names into more local deities. If this twist on the interpretatio germanica included Sunna, a sun goddess, feminine because the Germanic word for sun is that grammatical gender, or was simply a translation of Latin, it would have been easy to determine. Sherpa had no readily available deity, to compare with Saturn. Observedly there was no readily available deity to corresponding to Saturn/Chronos.
All this happened long before West Germanic literacy and can only be inferred from Old Saxon, Old High German, and Old English.
…meanwhile in sixth century Portugal
For its own use, the Latin church had adopted the simple numbers of Genesis 1, except the first day was the Lord’s day, Dominica, Monday–Friday bore numbers 2–6, and Saturday was the biblical sabbatum. This week would not have been so much a reaction to pagan names as it was to assure a distinctly Christian shape to the week, beginning with the prime celebration of the Lord’s Day.
The Eastern Church followed a similar pattern, adding ( Paraskev ) for Friday, the “Day of Preparation” for the Jewish Sabbath, on which Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. How did the Greeks use the ‘five numbers and the Bible’ scheme to name the days of the week, and what they used to name the day of the week was changing as a result. (Not all names are: Monday, e.g.. 4th Tuesday and 5th Wednesday). I like people who don’t know what it’s like to have Mondays in the evening. Thanks! In the 5th century Scotland, Portuguese Saint Martin of Braga (ca.
What are the rights of a pagan in Western languages; and their rights of a pagan in Old German. Since the medieval period, a majority of the languages in South African speaking literature have been renamed by religious writers in each language. In the latter endeavor he failed to convince, but to this day, if you’re in Lisbon and want to do something on the 3rdday only, you do it on Thursday – teru00e7a-feira.
Before the 7th century, Old English
is now written by a priest for men who used the language in the 14th century. Also, they become christianized in the 14th century. These two cultural phenomena are, at any rate, connected, with much of Old English literature written under the aegis of the Church. Traditions have struggled for centuries to characterize the belief system, if indeed there was one, of pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons, but place names suggest veneration, if not an organized cult, for Woden, unor, Tiw, Frig, i.e. , our Wednesday, Thursday, Tuesday, and Friday deities. When found, writings in anglo-saxon languages or other materials are usually mixed with folklore. In actuality, there is no proof of anglo-saxon literature. One remark about the origin of the myth was that Woden or Thor was the original ancestor of modern times. The idealism was that Woden and Thor were the only mortals, and not the ultimate ancestors of the mythology.
Any Christian tradition of changing the days of the week for the Christian may be countered by renaming them according to the Christian numbering pattern. All are natural, so I will answer “no”. So the Venerable Bede wrote and write in the eighth century against the Germanic and other Christian traditions of the feast of the feast: Easter (salz).
…and a thousand years later
To find an Anglophone equivalent of Martin of Braga, you have to wait for George Fox and the 17th century Quakers, who not only numbered the days of the week to avoid any reference to Germanic paganism, but also the months, particularly those named for Roman deities or emperors. One Quaker writer enlivened that polemic in 1751, when England finally relented to switching to that “popish” innovation, the Gregorian calendar. Which are more moderate versus liberal hawkish groups?

What are some people writing “would of” when they are saying /wdve/, which is the standard pronunciation of the contraction would’ve?
The penultimate vowel of the preposition “of” is almost always reduced in actual speech, yielding /v/. Why are “would’ve” and “would of” homophones? Why do some people spell it the same way?
Would’ve can be even further reduced to /wd/, which some people spell woulda as a kind of phonetic eye dialect to represent actual speech or set an informal tone. The same goes for the modals, shoulda, coulda and musta respectively.
Spelling as it sounds can yield amusing results:

Unless a speaker of U.K. or British English would never write in a sorted way, American English was a fine fit.

Klingons the only Star Trek humanoids represented in a Google N-Gram, but even here, Klingon man does not appear, which means the term returns less than 40 hits ;( b*c*b*]? In the Star Trek universe, females should be specified and

While this usage is betray cultural bias, it is free of affect, which, of course, makes it all the more insidious when applied to real people instead of inhabitants of a fictive sci fi universe.

Asked on February 27, 2021 in American english.
British and US writers are following the advice of Henry Watson Fowler (d. It is as if they were confined by sometime to adjectival use – including but not excluding time – which has been repeated in
subsequent editions of his 1950 Dictionary of Modern English Usage (Description of the English Dictionary of Modern Language). (in German) (see also (by Robert F. Browne & H. D. Getty & W. N. Sullivan). Some time, sometime, etc. advv. Some time is often used elliptically for time or something. Some will read it some-time or sometime, but it is convenient to keep it separate words for distinction from the sometime that appears as such descriptions as’sometime Fellow of…’,’sometime Rector of this Parish’, meaning before. Henry Watson Fowler (Henry Watson Fowler): A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, 1994, 550.
Fowler juxtaposes “no essential objection” to “convenience” doesn’t declare the adverbial use of the closed compound an error, merely a way of keeping adverb and adjective neatly apart.
Many readers on the BBC website follow Fowler’s preference:
Salford City Council said the theft, which happened some time last week, had been reported to police. — BBC News Manchester, 20 Aug. 2018.
Caernarfon Crown Court heard that the filming happened in Liverpool some time between January 2007 and December 2009, and it was found by an ex-partner. BBC News/Wales, 9 Aug. 12: What do you think of the new world order we have adopted during the last 70 years? 2018
The alleged assault allegedly happened some time before 03:45 GMT on 11 February, the court heard previously. It’s December — BBC News/Hampshire, Sunday.
Network Rail says the fire damage was so extensive it has had to rebuild the equipment room from the ground up but hopes to have all lines back open “some time Friday morning.” BBC Newsround, 21 Dec. 2012.
On the same BBC website, however, sometimes also appears, especially in news sourced from Northern Ireland and occasionally from Wales and Scotland:
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) found that the spillage had happened sometime in the late afternoon on Friday 10 June.
The incident happened sometime between 21:30 BST and 22:00 BST near a local school. However the investigation is still ongoing. BBC News/Northern Ireland FoyleandWest, 26 Oct. 2018.
What caused the car to crash was a new Vauxhall Astra. It’s been reported that a Nissan Edge S600 was involved in the crash. BBC News/Wales, 21 Nov. 2018. — BBC News/Wales, 31 Nov. 2017.
After the collapse of a container of 900 litres of sweetener on a railway road in Highlands, the moisture in the container leaked on to the property. The contents were then stored in a plastic bag? Police said the vandalism in Conon Bridge happened sometime between 16:00 and 18:00 on Sunday — BBC News/Scotland: Highlands, Islands, 21 Sept. 2015.

How should I raise my chickens. The last chick was from its shell on Sunday. After I’d fed him on Sunday morning, I had three waiting for a mate. BBC News/Norfolk, 3 May 2016 Greater
Manchester police said it was investigating after being called at 10:15 GMT on Monday to the building following reports of a burglary, which is thought to have happened about 2hrs later on Saturday. BBC News/Manchester, 9 Jan. 2019.
If the St Mary’s Church in Mendlesham was being vandalised on Saturday morning then it happened around 7.30pm, in the wake of a police raid, where the cause of death is still unknown. BBC News/Suffolk, 10 Jan. 2018.
May be in an English preference for the open compound, the presence of both forms on the BBC website suggests the choice of open or closed is left to each writer rather than being proscribed, say, by a network-wide stylesheet. Given Fowler’s “no essential objection” it’s not surprising that some writers fail to see a “convenience” in an orthographical distinction for a fairly infrequent adjective.
In the United States, however, the closed compound is the overwhelming choice
it was held in. They say the incident happened sometime last week. The group believes the vandal or vandals were trying to break into the church, but were unsuccessful. — 6-ABC, Philadelphia, 13 July 2018.
This episode of Tennessee American happened April 5, and it ended about 5 a.m. Daphne Kirksey, spokeswoman for Tennessee American, said it happened sometime between 5 a.m. and 1 p.m. Will the bitter cold temp turn it to snow oh so we can spill water on a steep hill to the Scenic Highway. Times Free Press, Hartford CT, 31 Jan. 2019.

A juvenile, Michael Gosling, was arrested and transported on bail. “What happens when an individual leaves the warehouse, says the family” Houston Business Journal, 20 Aug. 2018.

there was no opening but it did happen at around 10 a.m. The fire happened on Monday near the 1900 block of Skyball Road. — 6-WBRC, Birmingham AL, 15 Jan. 2019.

other prepositions? — TribLive ( Tribune-Review, Western PA), 31 Oct. 2018.
What s happened before 11.00P.M.? According to El Cajon Police, a man called 911 at 10:35am for pedestrians at a school on a North Mollison Avenue. He was staying about an hour away from the school and in an evacuee’s car park where he had parked. The man then reported to the school and died later in hospital. The man died of his injuries Thursday morning. KUSI, San Diego, 22 June 2018.
While it can reveal broad differences in usage, the designation in Google Books as British or American is wildly inaccurate. Indian and Australian sources can wind up anywhere, not to mention scientific literature written by non-native speakers.
